New Moon
The new moon phase occurs when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth.
When this occurs, there is a possibility of having a solar eclipse.
Solar eclipses do not happen each month because the orbit of the Moon is 10o off from the orbit of the Earth.

Waxing Crescent
The Moon revolves around the Earth.
Waxing means to increase in size. This refers to the lit portion of the Moon.
Crescent refers to the shape.
Remember, the line dividing the light from the dark is called the terminator.
The terminator moves from right to left.

First Quarter
When the Moon has gone one fourth of the way around the Earth, it is called the first quarter.
From our point of view, the right half of the Moon is lit.

Waxing Gibbous
The gibbous phase looks like a fat football.
The word gibbous means bulging.
During the waxing gibbous phase, the lit side of the Moon continues to grow in size.

Full Moon
During the full moon, we see the light reflecting from the entire surface of the moon facing the Earth.
During this phase, it is possible to have a lunar eclipse.

Waning Gibbous
During the waning phase of the Moon, the lit portion decreases in size.
The waning gibbous occurs after the full moon.

The third quarter has the lit side on the left.
The Moon is three fourths of the way around its orbit.
