Answer:
The moon has no light of her own, and merely acts as a mirror for the sun’s rays. The phases of the moon, caused by the relative positions of the earth, moon and sun, are well-known, new moon occurring when the moon and sun are both on the same side of the earth, and full moon when the earth is between the sun and the moon. The moon is said to be in syzygy when it is new or full. It follows that the crescent is first seen like a sickle in the eastern sky after sunset, moving further to the east as it gets more full, until, as a full moon, it rises about the same time as the sun sets. At last quarter the moon is high in the heavens in the morning, the crescent becoming smaller and smaller as it draws closer to the sun, finally disappearing in the effulgence of our star. The first appearance of the crescent moon is especially important to the Moslems, particularly for the months of Ramadan and Bairam; from observations made with this in mind it has been found that the new moon may be seen when about twenty-four hours old and twelve degrees from the sun. In 1910, J.K. Fotheringham, the astronomer, dealing with Julius Schmidt’s observations made in Athens, claimed that this was independent of differences in latitude.
The diameter of the moon is some 2160 miles and its mass is 1/81.53 of the earth’s mass. The mean specific gravity of the moon is about 3.4, compared with the earth as a whole 5.5 and the earth's surface 2.65.
