Moon’s Phases

The lunar phases are created by changing angles (relative positions) of the earth, the moon and the sun, as the moon orbits the earth.

New Moon A new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the earth and sun. The entire illuminated portion of the moon is on the back side of the moon, the half that we cannot see.

Full Moon At a full moon, the earth, moon, and sun are in alignment, just as the new moon, but the moon is on the opposite side of the earth, so the entire sunlit part of the moon is facing us.

First & Third Quarter Moons The first quarter and third quarter moons (both often called a "half moon"), happen when the moon is at a 90 degree angle with respect to the earth and sun. So we are seeing exactly half of the moon illuminated and half in shadow.

Moon Definitions Crescent – the moon is less than half illuminated Gibbous – the moon is more than half illuminated Waxing – ‘growing’ or expanding in illumination Waning – ‘shrinking’ or decreasing in illumination

‘In-Between’ Lunar Phases After the new moon, the sunlit portion is increasing, but less than half, so it is waxing crescent. After the first quarter, the sunlit portion is still increasing, but now it is more than half, so it is waxing gibbous. After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.
