Answer:

In astronomy, a conjunction occurs when two astronomical objects or spacecraft have either the same right ascension or the same ecliptic longitude, usually as observed from Earth.[1][2] The astronomical symbol for conjunction is ☌ (in Unicode U+260C) and handwritten Astronomical conjunction symbol.png. The conjunction symbol is not used in modern astronomy. It continues to be used in astrology.[not verified in body]

When two objects always appear close to the ecliptic—such as two planets, the Moon and a planet, or the Sun and a planet—this fact implies an apparent close approach between the objects as seen on the sky. A related word, appulse, is the minimum apparent separation on the sky of two astronomical objects.[3]

Conjunctions involve either two objects in the Solar System or one object in the Solar System and a more distant object, such as a star. A conjunction is an apparent phenomenon caused by the observer's perspective: the two objects involved are not actually close to one another in space. Conjunctions between two bright objects close to the ecliptic, such as two bright planets, can be seen with the naked eye.

Answer:

 Moon rises and sets every day, like the Sun. But the Sun always rises in the morning and sets in the evening; the Moon does it at a different time every day.

At New Moon, the Moon lies in the same direction as the Sun. But the Moon is orbiting around the Earth; every day, it moves eastwards (further left from the Sun) by about 12 degrees. This means that it increasingly lags behind the Sun, by about 50 minutes a day.

At New Moon, the Moon rises in the morning; it's at its highest, in the south, in the middle of the day and it sets in the evening - just like the Sun. Of course this is academic, since we can't see the Moon when it's New!

Over the next few days, as the Moon grows to a crescent, it moves further left, and lags more and more behind the Sun. Soon we can see it in the evenings, still above the western horizon when the Sun has already set.

By First Quarter, the Moon is one-quarter of the way around its orbit (and half illuminated). It is now 90 degrees to the left of the Sun, and lags behind it by 6 hours. So it rises in the middle of the day, it's high in the south at sunset, and it sets in the middle of the night.

Over the next few days, as the Moon grows to a gibbous phase (more than half-illuminated), it continues to lag further behind, rising later each afternoon and setting later each night.

At Full Moon, the Moon is opposite to the Sun - 180 degrees away, and 12 hours behind it. So the Moon rises as the Sun is setting; it's high in the south at midnight, and it sets in the morning, at sunrise.

Over the next few days, as it shrinks back to gibbous again, it rises later in the night.

By Last Quarter, the Moon is 270 degrees to the left of the Sun - or 90 degrees to the right of it; and it lags 18 hours behind the Sun - or it's 6 hours ahead. So it rises in the middle of the night, it's high in the south at dawn, and it sets in the middle of the day.
