Ah, that's when we have a "new moon," friend. It's like taking a refreshing break, where the moon rests a bit before showing us its bright and beautiful self again. Just a peaceful moment in the endless cycle of the night sky.
The phase of the moon where no part of it is visible is called a "new moon." This phase occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it appear completely dark from our perspective on Earth.
After the new moon, the part of the moon that is visible to us grows in size as it progresses towards the full moon phase. This phase is known as the waxing phase, during which the illuminated part of the moon gradually increases in size each night.
The phase of the moon that occurs between the third quarter and the new moon is the waning crescent. During this phase, the illuminated part of the moon visible from Earth decreases until it eventually becomes a new moon with no visible illumination.
The Earth blocks out some of the light from the sun going to the moon so a part of it has no light
When the lit part of the Moon grows larger, it is in the phase known as "waxing." This phase occurs after the New Moon and leads up to the Full Moon. During this time, more of the Moon's surface becomes illuminated as seen from Earth, transitioning from a crescent to a gibbous shape.
That is the new moon phase.
That configuration is known as the "New Moon" phase.

The moon phase "waning gibbous" appears after the moon phase "full moon".It becomes the "last quarter" or "third quarter" when the lighted part is exactly 50%of the side facing the Earth.
That would be the "Full Moon".

Only one. New moon is the phase where the sun is completely dark, and crescent is the phase where only a sliver (or crescent) is showing. The night after a new moon, part of the moon will be illuminated, and it will be a crescent.
