new moon
It will be in the form of a bright circular shape.
The strip of the sky in which the Sun, Moon, and bright planets appear to move is called the ecliptic. The ecliptic is the apparent path that the Sun takes through the sky over the course of a year due to the Earth's orbit around it. It is also the path that the Moon and planets generally follow, staying close to this line in the sky.
No, the moon is not a square shape. It appears to be a round solid object in the night sky.
When there is no moon visible in the sky, it is called a new moon. During this phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun.
A moon between half and full is called 'gibbous'.
A shape in the night sky is a star. It could also be a circle if the moon is the shape being referred to.
The Moon's overall motion (apparent motion) in the sky was from East to West.

The ecliptic is the apparent path that the Sun takes through the sky over the course of a year due to the Earth's orbit around it. It is also the path that the Moon and planets generally follow, staying close to this line in the sky.
It is a nearly perfect circle.
The line where the earth meets the sky is called the horizon. It is the apparent line that separates the Earth from the sky when viewed from a specific point.
No, the moon is not a square shape. It appears to be a round solid object in the night sky.
the diameter of the sun is about 400 times that of the moon, and it out-masses the moon by about 27 million times, they are both approximately the same apparent size in our sky.
moon
The moon appears to change shape in the night sky because of its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its illuminated surface are visible from our perspective, creating the phases of the moon.
The changing shape of the moon in the sky is caused by its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, different portions of its illuminated surface are visible from our perspective, creating the appearance of different moon phases.
The moon is a sphere. It is illuminated in our night sky when the sun shines on it. The sun always illuminates the same side of the moon. The moon's apparent shape - the shape we see - the part which is illuminated ranges from a left-facing thin crescent to a full circle to a right-facing thin crescent. This is because, due to the rotation of the earth, we are not always facing head-on to the side which is illuminated.
