One week after September 12, 2013, the moon phase visible from Earth on September 19, 2013, was the Waxing Gibbous. This phase occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not yet full, typically occurring between the First Quarter and Full Moon phases.
New Moon Phase
New Moon
Venus would never be visible as a crescent phase because it is an inner planet whose orbit is between Earth and the Sun. This means that Venus can never appear to us in crescent phase, as it would always show either a full or nearly full phase when viewed from Earth.
No. None of the lunar surface is visible from Earth during the New Moon phase.
The moon appears to wax and wane as it orbits the Earth, causing different amounts of its illuminated side to be visible from our perspective. During the waxing phase, more of the illuminated side is visible, while during the waning phase, less is visible. This cycle is due to the changing relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun.

No, Venus in its full phase is not visible from Earth. When Venus is in its full phase, it is positioned on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, which means it is lost in the Sun's glare and not visible to us.

During a new moon phase, the moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, so it is not visible from Earth.
When the side of the moon facing Earth is dark and not visible, it is called the "new moon" phase. During this phase, the sunlit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark from our perspective.
No. None of the lunar surface is visible from Earth during the New Moon phase.
One side of the moon (the Earth facing side) becomes fully visible at Full Moon.
The moon appears to wax and wane as it orbits the Earth, causing different amounts of its illuminated side to be visible from our perspective. During the waxing phase, more of the illuminated side is visible, while during the waning phase, less is visible. This cycle is due to the changing relative positions of the Earth, moon, and sun.
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.
