Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

A crescent moon is when only part of the moons lit up side is facing towards the Earth, while a full moon is when the whole moon is lit up and facing towards us. Basically, there is usually always light from the sun on the moon besides a lunar eclipse, during a crescent moon, we only see part of the illuminated moon
