WHAT ARE THE PHASES OF THE MOON?
The moon phase is based on the lunar calendar and the year, month and date set. Most Internet moon phase
calculations are based on the lunar calendar.
•
Waxing indicates growing or expanding illumination and happens after a new moon.
•
Waning indicates decreasing illumination and occurs after a full moon.
•
Crescent refers to the moon being less than half illuminated. Crescents can be waning or waxing.
•
Gibbous describes a moon phase when more than half is illuminated. Gibbous can be waxing or waning.
•
New Moon occurs when the moon is between the earth and sun, so the illuminated portion of the moon is on
the back side facing the sun and we cannot see it. After a new moon, the illuminated portion will increase or
wax until the full moon occurs.
•
Full Moon occurs when the earth, moon and sun are in approximate alignment, with the moon and the sun on
opposite sides of the earth. The illuminated portion of the moon faces the earth, giving us complete visibility of
one side of the entire moon. After a full moon, the illuminated portion will decrease or wane until the new
moon occurs.

First Quarter and Last Quarter moons occur when the moon is at a 90 degree angle to the earth and sun. We
see half of the moon illuminated and the other half is in shadow.
