Phases of the Moon

New Moon Can’t be seen. Rises with the sun. Sets with the sun. Bright sky and glare prevent it from being seen. Conjunction

+ +

Waxing Crescent The moon rises in the morning. It follows the sun through the day. People notice it as the sun sets.

Waxing Crescent Follows the Sun Closely Rises in the Morning Sets in the Evening Up Most of the Day and Some of the Evening

Waxing Crescent Follows Further Behind Wider Crescent Rises Later Sets Later Up Less Day More Night

Waxing Crescent

Terminator Limb

Waxing Crescent

First Quarter Looks Half Full Called 1 st Quarter ¼ Cycle Complete Rises at Noon Sets at Midnight Up Half the Day and Half the Night

Waxing Gibbous

More than Half Full Rises in the Afternoon Sets after Midnight Up Some of the Day but More of the Night

Waxing Gibbous Wider Gibbous Farther from Sun Rises Later in the Afternoon Sets Later at Night Up Less Day More Night

Waxing Gibbous

Full Moon Looks Full a Few Nights in a Row Only Full One Night Rises as the Sun Sets as the Sun Rises Opposite the Sun Opposition

+

Waning Gibbous Less Full Still More than Half Rises in the Evening Sets in the Morning Moon Ahead of Sun Up Mostly at Night but Some of the Day Too

Waning Gibbous Less Full Rises Later Less Night More Day Closer to Sun

Waning Gibbous

3 rd Quarter Looks Half Full Called 3 rd Quarter ¾ Cycle Complete Rises at Midnight Sets at Noon Up Half the Night and Half the Day

Waning Crescent Less than Half Rises After Midnight Sets in the Afternoon Up Some of the Night but Mostly Day

Waning Crescent Thinner Crescent Rises Later Sets Later Up Less Night and More Day

Waning Crescent

Data First Now a Model Moon Receives Light from Sun Just Like Earth

Moon is a Sphere

Sun Illuminates Earth and Moon Sun Moon Orbits Earth

Sun Illuminates Earth and Moon Sun Moon Orbits Earth can’t see conjunction new moon

Sun Illuminates Earth and Moon Sun Moon Orbits Earth crescent

Sun Illuminates Earth and Moon Sun Moon Orbits Earth first quarter

Sun Illuminates Earth and Moon Sun Moon Orbits Earth gibbous

Sun Illuminates Earth and Moon Sun Moon Orbits Earth full opposition

Sun Illuminates Earth and Moon Moon Orbits Earth Sun Farther Away 

Sun Illuminates Earth and Moon Moon Orbits Earth Sun Farther Away 

Sun Illuminates Earth and Moon Moon Orbits Earth Sun Farther Away 

Aristarchus  Sun 20 Times Farther Sun and Moon Look the Same Size According to Solar Eclipses Sun 20 Times Bigger Sun Really 400 Times Farther and 400 Times Bigger Sun Much Farther Away and Much Bigger
