How does the moon change phases? What causes the phases of the moon? What are the 8 names of the phases of the moon? Since the moon does not produce light, how can you see it?

The positions of the moon, sun, and Earth determine which phase the moon is in. This photo shows how the moon looks from Earth at ach phase.

Phases of the Moon

The Phases of the Moon The changing shapes of the moon we see are called phases. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces Earth. The moon shows all of its phases in a cycle that lasts 29.5 days. The names of the moon’s 8 phases in order of appearance are: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, 3 rd (last) quarter, waning crescent. Since the moon does not produce light, light from the sun reflects off the moon, enabling it to be seen from Earth.

The Phases of the Moon Waxing means “increasing in size” Waning means “decreasing in size” The moon does not produce its own light. It reflects sunlight in all directions. During a new moon, the moon is between the sun and Earth, so you cannot see the moon.

The Phases of the Moon After a few days, as the moon orbits Earth,, it is no longer between the sun and Earth. A little part of the moon’s face reflects sunlight toward Earth= waxing (increasing) crescent. When half of the moon’s bright side faces Earth, it is a first quarter moon. During a waxing gibbous, most of the moon’s lighted side faces Earth.

The Phases of the Moon When the moon is half way through its cycle, the side that faces Earth is opposite of the sun. Earth sees all of the moon’s bright face. This is called a full moon. As the cycle continues, we see less and less of the bright side of the moon. In decreasing order, waning gibbous, third quarter moon, waning crescent. After 29.5 days, the cycle is complete. Another new moon has appeared.

Information (Food) for Thought…

Spring Tides happen during a Full moon and a New moon…

Oh! I see what happens… and neap tides happen in the 1 st quarter and 3 rd quarter of the moon’s phases!
