Darling, a sunset in simple terms has three phases: daytime, sunset, and nighttime. During daytime, the sun is shining bright, during sunset, the sun is low and paints the sky with pink, orange, and purple hues, and then nighttime arrives when it's just you, the moon, and the stars. So don't worry sweetie, the sunset may be brief but it's always worth the watch.
The moon has different phases that it passes through, just like we have different phases in our lifetimes.
Actually, the new moon is not visible as it is located between the Earth and the Sun. The phases of the moon that are visible in the early morning and at sunset are the waxing crescent and waning crescent phases.
The moon phases are called "phases" because they refer to the different shapes or appearances of the Moon as seen from Earth at different points in its orbit. These phases are a result of the changing relative positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.
The Moon's Phases (or Lunar Phases).
Yes, the moon can sometimes be visible before sunset and after sunrise. This is particularly true during certain phases of the lunar cycle when the moon is closer to the horizon and the sky is still partially lit by the sun.

The US Naval Observatory's web site has a calculator that will allow you to see the phases of the Moon, or to calculate the times of sunrise and sunset. Check out the link below

You get the phases of the moon from the Sun reflecting off the moon at different angles.

Yes, the moon can sometimes be visible before sunset and after sunrise. This is particularly true during certain phases of the lunar cycle when the moon is closer to the horizon and the sky is still partially lit by the sun.
"Phases" of the Moon.
The phases are caused by the angle that the sunlight strikes the moon.
People see different phases of the moon due to its position relative to the Earth and Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, the amount of sunlight reflecting off its surface changes, creating the different phases we see from Earth. This phenomenon is known as lunar phases.
Any moon apart from the new moon can be seen in the night sky, although the only moon phase that is above the horizon the entire night is the full moon. The gibbous phases either rise just before sunset or set after sunrise, the quarter phases either rise or set at midnight and the crescent phases either rise shortly before sunrise or set shortly before sunset.
