new moon
Whenever you see the moon, its shape is described by one of the names given to the phases.
The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.
The Moon's phase when it's between the Earth and the sun is called a New Moon. It's in this position where at times there is a Solar Eclipse of the Sun. Please refer to the link I have attached.
At the equator, the number of daylight hours remains fairly consistent throughout the year due to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth. During a new moon phase, the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, which means the side of the Moon facing Earth is not illuminated, resulting in dark skies and generally longer nighttime hours.
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.

A waxing Moon can be seen when the Moon is larger in the sky, and is moving from the new Moon phase, and into the full Moon phase. A waning Moon is seen when the Moon is visibly smaller in the sky, and is moving from the full Moon phase, and into the new Moon phase.
