Only some of the people on the daytime side of Earth can witness a solar eclipse when it occurs, whereas all the people on the nighttime side of Earth can witness a lunar eclipse when it occurs. Why is this so?

The new moon is the first phase of the moon. During the day, a new moon is between the sun and the Earth. It's daytime, so we usually can't see it. Then, at night, the moon is on the other side of the Earth. Because the moon is not lighting up the sky, this is the best time to see stars and constellations. New moon Which of the following best describes the relationship between the new moon phase and constellations? During the new moon phase, constellations take on different shapes due to a lack of moonlight. During the new moon phase, constellations are on the same side of the earth as the sun. huring the new moon phase, constellations are easier to see due to a lack of moonlight. During the new moon phase, constellations are easier to see due to increased sunlight.

Tonight you see a waning crescent in the night sky. A few (n) days later, the night is once again clear and you see a waning crescent. How many degrees did the Moon advance in its orbit during this time frame?
