Moon Phases

Half of the Moon is always lit up by the sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, we see different parts of the lighted area. http://www.nasm.si.edu/apollo30th/moontheater/phasepage2.html

The revolution of the Moon around the Earth makes the Moon look as if it is changing shape in the sky. http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.htm

This is caused by the different angles from which we see the lighted part of the Moon's surface. These are called "phases" of the Moon. http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.htm

http://www.niehs.nih.gov/kids/ lunar/why_phases.gif

The Moon passes through 8 major shapes during a cycle that repeats itself every 29.5 days. The phases always follow one another in the same order: New moon Waxing Crescent First quarter Waxing Gibbous Full moon Waning Gibbous Third quarter Waning Crescent

New Moon

New Moon The lighted side of the Moon faces away from the Earth. This means that the Sun, Earth, and Moon are almost in a straight line, with the Moon in between the Sun and the Earth. The Moon that we see looks very dark

Waxing Crescent Moon http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

Waxing Crescent Moon This Moon can be seen after the New Moon, but before the First Quarter Moon. The crescent will grow larger and larger every day, until the Moon looks like the First Quarter Moon. ("Waxing" means increasing, or growing larger.) http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

First Quarter Moon

First Quarter Moon The right half of the Moon appears lighted and the left side of the Moon appears dark. During the time between the New Moon and the First Quarter Moon, the part of the Moon that appears lighted gets larger and larger every day, and will continue to grow until the Full Moon.

Waxing Gibbous Moon http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

Waxing Gibbous Moon This Moon can be seen after the First Quarter Moon, but before the Full Moon. The amount of the Moon that we can see will grow larger and larger every day. ("Waxing" means increasing, or growing larger.) http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

Full Moon

Full Moon The lighted side of the Moon faces the Earth. This means that the Earth, Sun, and Moon are nearly in a straight line, with the Earth in the middle. The Moon that we see is very bright from the sunlight reflecting off it.

Waning Gibbous Moon http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

Waning Gibbous Moon This Moon can be seen after the Full Moon, but before the Last Quarter Moon. The amount of the Moon that we can see will grow smaller and smaller every day. ("Waning" means decreasing, or growing smaller.) http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

Third Quarter Moon

Third (Last) Quarter Moon Sometimes called Third Quarter. The left half of the Moon appears lighted, and the right side of the Moon appears dark. During the time between the Full Moon and the Last Quarter Moon, the part of the Moon that appears lighted gets smaller and smaller every day. It will continue to shrink until the New Moon, when the cycle starts all over again.

Waning Crescent Moon http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html

Waning Crescent Moon This Moon can be seen after the Last Quarter Moon and before the New Moon. The crescent will grow smaller and smaller every day, until the Moon looks like the New Moon. ("Waning" means decreasing, or growing smaller.) http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/birthdayphases.html
