The waning crescent moon appears as a thin, curved sliver of light, with the illuminated portion decreasing each night. It is typically seen in the morning sky, just before sunrise, and is shaped like a small arc or crescent. The dark side of the moon is more prominent, creating a stark contrast with the bright edge. This phase occurs after the last quarter and before the new moon.
