What is the definition of crescent?
A crescent is something that is "c" shaped. For example, the moon when it is a sliver is "crescent shaped."It's the figure bounded by a semicircle and an arc of a larger circle. The most familiar crescent is the Moon, when it's partially lit by the Sun (as viewed from Earth). A frequent error in drawing a crescent is making the arc of a smaller circle.
