Well, sugar, the moon is seen as a crescent in the night sky because of the angles between the Earth, the moon, and the sun. When the Earth is between the sun and the moon, only a portion of the illuminated side is visible to us Earthlings, creating that lovely crescent shape. It's all about geometry, darling.

What phases of the moon can only be seen at night?
The phases of the moon that can only be seen at night are the Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, and Waning Gibbous. During these phases, the moon rises in the east and sets in the west after sunset, making them visible primarily during nighttime. The New Moon phase, however, is not visible at all during the night as it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun.
When is a crescent moon seen?
A crescent moon is seen shortly after the new moon phase, when only a small sliver of the moon's illuminated surface is visible from Earth. This occurs as the moon orbits the Earth and begins to reflect sunlight, typically appearing in the western sky after sunset. A crescent moon can also be observed before the new moon, known as the waning crescent, during its final phase before it disappears from view.
What is it called when less and less of the illuminated half of the moon can e seen each night?
When less and less of the illuminated half of the moon can be seen each night, it is called the "waning" phase of the moon. Specifically, this occurs after the full moon, leading to phases such as the waning gibbous and waning crescent. During this time, the visible portion of the moon decreases until it reaches the new moon phase.
