The new moon appears when the Moon is situated between the Earth and the Sun, making the side of the Moon that is illuminated by the Sun facing away from the Earth. This results in the Moon appearing dark in the sky, as it is not reflecting any sunlight towards Earth. The new moon marks the start of a new lunar cycle.

The moon appears crescent-shaped because we see only a portion of its illuminated side as viewed from Earth. This is due to the moon's changing position in its orbit around Earth, which causes varying amounts of sunlight to reach its surface.
