New Moon When we see the New Moon, the lighted side of the Moon faces away from the Earth. The Moon is between the Earth and Sun. We don’t’ see the Moon because the sunlight falls on the side of the Moon which is turned away from us.

Waxing Crescent “Wax On” = moon on right side; Crescent = small When we see the Waxing Crescent, a small part of the Moon appears lighted and it appears to be getting larger each day. The Waxing Crescent Moon is a narrow crescent, lit on the right side.

First Quarter When we see the First Quarter, the right half of the Moon appears lighted, with the lighted part growing larger on the following days. The First Quarter Moon is 7 or 8 days after the New Moon.

Waxing Gibbous “Wax On” = moon on right side; Gibbous = fat/hump Gibbous means hump. When we see the Waxing Gibbous Moon, more than half of the Moon appears lighted. When more than half of the Moon is lit on the right side, it is a Waxing Gibbous Moon.

Full Moon Two weeks after the New Moon (14 days), the Full Moon appears. When we see the Full Moon, the lighted side of the Moon faces toward Earth. It is opposite the Sun in the sky.

Waning Gibbous “Waning Goodbye” = moon on LEFT; Gibbous = fat/hump When we see the Waning Gibbous Moon, more than half of the Moon appears lighted. When the Moon is waning, it appears to be getting smaller. When more than half of the Moon is lit on the left side, it is a Waning Gibbous Moon.

Third or Last Quarter When we see the Third or Last Quarter, the left half of the Moon appears lighted. The Third or Last Quarter Moon looks like a half-moon lit on the left side.

Waning Crescent “Waning Goodbye” = moon lit on LEFT; Crescent = small When you see the Waning Crescent Moon, a small part of the lighted Moon is visible. It becomes a narrow crescent lit on the left side. It follows the Sun ever more closely, until after 29 1/2 days, we have the New Moon again and the whole cycle starts over again.
