The Phases and How we See them

Quick facts for the back
  • Wax means to get bigger
  • Wane means to get smaller
  • Wax on/wax off (visibility begins from the far
    right and gradually increases until a full moon
    is reached. After it is reached, the right side
    fades away until the next new moon.
  • Moon phase completion takes 29 days and 12 hours
    completing a Lunar Calendar.

Phases of the Moon
  • First Quarter
  • Waxing Gibbous
  • Moon forms a 90 angle with the sun and Earth
  • Right half of the moon is visible (light)
  • Left half is dark
  • 2 equal halves
  • Close to full moon visibility
  • More than a quarter is visible on Earth
  • Slight darkness on the far left side

9
Phases of the Moon
  • Full Moon
  • Waning Gibbous
  • The moon is aligned with the Sun and Earth (Earth
    is in the middle)
  • The entire side of the moon facing Earth is
    bright (visible)
  • More than a quarter is visible
  • Far right side is dark
  • Visible portion is becoming smaller

10
Phases of the Moon
  • Last Quarter
  • Waning Crescent
  • Moon, Sun, and Earth form a 90 angle, so the
    side facing earth is half dark/half bright
  • Visible part will slowly get smaller
  • Visible part is the left side with right side dark
  • Less than a quarter is visible
  • Visible part is getting smaller towards the new
    moon
  • Only a sliver on the left side is visible, right
    side is all hidden
  • Looks like the letter C
