    If the moon is near the western horizon at 6 PM, then it's quite

    near the sun in the sky. But from the scanty information given

    in the question, we don't know whether it's a little bit ahead of

    the sun or behind the sun.

    In either case, the moon is a crescent.

    - - If the moon is slightly ahead of the sun, then it's a waning crescent.

    It will set while the sun is still in the western sky, and it'll be very hard

    to see it.

    - - If the moon is slightly behind the sun, then it's a waxing crescent.

    The sun will set a short time before the moon, leaving the beautiful

    crescent moon low in the dimly lit western sky.
