Answer:

new moon

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The new moon is the first lunar phase and is seen as a thin waxing crescent and its shape is formed the direct sunlight as viewed from the earth and stays form 6 am to 6 pm.
  • It varies slightly due to its elliptical orbit and these phases are due to the angles from were the observer can see the moon illumination by the sun as it orbits the planet and the moon reflects the light received from the sun.
