When the moon looks like a crescent, it is either a waxing crescent or waning crescent moon.
The moon can appear crescent-shaped when it is near the beginning or end of its phases, resembling a fingernail. This crescent shape occurs when the sun illuminates only a portion of the moon's surface visible from Earth.
The "new moon" is technically not visible at all. The Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun and none of the illuminated part is visible from Earth. Sometime on the day of the new moon, the Moon will appear as a very thin crescent (last crescent or first crescent).
Because the moon goes through phases and acrescentshape is one of the phases if its big its a waking crescent if its small its a wanningcrescent
The changing appearance of the moon, known as its phases, is due to its position relative to the Earth and the Sun. When the moon is between the Earth and the Sun, we see it as a new moon. As the moon moves around the Earth, more of its illuminated side becomes visible, leading to phases such as crescent, quarter, gibbous, and full moon.

When the angle between the sun and moon as seen from earth is less than 90 degrees, the moon will appear as a crescent.
The moon must be on the left or the right of the moon, where the sun only shines on a part of the moon. Showing only a crescent of the moon.

The Fertile Crescent sort of looks like a crescent shaped moon or perhaps a French Croissant. It is made up by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers located in Iraq.
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.
