- gibbous Waxing Gibbous: The waxing gibbous phase is between a half moon and full moon. Waxing means it is getting bigger. 🌕 Full: We can see the Moon completely illuminated during full moons. 🌖 Waning Gibbous: The waning gibbous phase is between a full moon and a half moon. Waning means it is getting smaller.
- crescent The area illuminated on the surface of the Moon during this phase is in the shape of a crescent and the amount of sunlight reflecting off of the Moon is decreasing. The term waning means decreasing, which is why this Moon phase is called Waning Crescent.
- moon The full moon is the lunar phase when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon. This means that the lunar hemisphere facing Earth—the near side—is completely sunlit and appears as an approximately circular disk.
- quarter The time of month between new moon and first half-moon.The phase of the moon after the waxing crescent when only the right half of its face, when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, reflects sunlight to the earth.
Down
- crescent The Waxing Crescent is the second phase in the cycle of phases. This Moon phase occurs once a month, rising around 9 AM, and setting around 9 PM, sticking around for approximately 7.38 days before going into the First Quarter phase.
- gibbous The waning gibbous phase is between a full moon and a half moon. Waning means it is getting smaller. 🌗 Third Quarter: We see the third quarter moon as a half moon, too. It is the opposite half as illuminated in the first quarter moon.
- moon In astronomy, the new moon is the first lunar phase, when the Moon and Sun have the same ecliptic longitude. At this phase, the lunar disk is not visible to the naked eye, except when it is silhouetted against the Sun during a solar eclipse.
- quarter A last quarter moon looks like half a pie. It is also called third quarter moon. A last quarter moon appears half-lit by sunshine and half-immersed in its own shadow. It rises in the middle of the night, appears at its highest in the sky around dawn, and sets around midday.

- gibbous Waxing Gibbous: The waxing gibbous phase is between a half moon and full moon. Waxing means it is getting bigger. 🌕 Full: We can see the Moon completely illuminated during full moons. 🌖 Waning Gibbous: The waning gibbous phase is between a full moon and a half moon. Waning means it is getting smaller.
- crescent The area illuminated on the surface of the Moon during this phase is in the shape of a crescent and the amount of sunlight reflecting off of the Moon is decreasing. The term waning means decreasing, which is why this Moon phase is called Waning Crescent.
- moon The full moon is the lunar phase when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon. This means that the lunar hemisphere facing Earth—the near side—is completely sunlit and appears as an approximately circular disk.
- quarter The time of month between new moon and first half-moon.The phase of the moon after the waxing crescent when only the right half of its face, when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, reflects sunlight to the earth.
Down
- crescent The Waxing Crescent is the second phase in the cycle of phases. This Moon phase occurs once a month, rising around 9 AM, and setting around 9 PM, sticking around for approximately 7.38 days before going into the First Quarter phase.
- gibbous The waning gibbous phase is between a full moon and a half moon. Waning means it is getting smaller. 🌗 Third Quarter: We see the third quarter moon as a half moon, too. It is the opposite half as illuminated in the first quarter moon.
- moon In astronomy, the new moon is the first lunar phase, when the Moon and Sun have the same ecliptic longitude. At this phase, the lunar disk is not visible to the naked eye, except when it is silhouetted against the Sun during a solar eclipse.
- quarter A last quarter moon looks like half a pie. It is also called third quarter moon. A last quarter moon appears half-lit by sunshine and half-immersed in its own shadow. It rises in the middle of the night, appears at its highest in the sky around dawn, and sets around midday.
- cycle The eight lunar phases are, in order: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter and waning crescent. The cycle repeats once a month (every 29.5 days)
