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.

changing shape in the sky.

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.

The Moon passes through four major shapes during a cycle that repeats itself

every 29.5 days. The phases always follow one another in the same order:

New MoonThe 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 MoonThis 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.

First Quarter MoonThe 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.

Full MoonThe 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.

Third (Last) Quarter MoonSometimes 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.NextBack
