 QUESTIONS

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MOON PHASES ?

DO YOU KNOW THE MOONS EIGHT
PHASES IN A LUNAR MONTH ?
 ANSWERS

1) Sun Lights Up the Moon. The Moon does not radiate its
own light, but the Moon's surface reflects the Sun’s rays.
2)NEW MOON
WAXING CRESCENT MOON
FIRST QUARTER MOON
WAXING GIBBOUS MOON

LET SEE IN
YOU WILL BE
SURPRISED TO KNOW
THAT THE MOON
DOESN’T EMIT LIGHT
ITSELF AND THE MOON
LIGHT WE SEE IS
ACTUALLY THE SUN’S
LIGHT REFLECTED OFF
THE LUNAR
SURFACE .YES ,THIS
SUNLIGHT IS ALSO
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
MOON’S
TRANFORMATION
FROM THE NEW MOON
TO THE FULL MOON
AND BACK AGAIN
UNDER THE PROCESS
WE CALL LUNAR CYCLE

BUT THE VITAL QUESTION
HOW DOES IT HAPPEN ?

LET US HAVE A GOOD LOOK

ON IT
PHASES OF MOON
IMAGE OF NEW MOON
 NEW MOON

Moon phase: primary

Moonrise: around sunrise | Moonset: around 
sunset
Illumination: 0%
Position in space: the Moon is between the Sun
and Earth
If the Moon’s path crosses the plane of Earth's orbit
around the Sun (the ecliptic) while the Sun, Moon,
and Earth are aligned at New Moon, a solar eclipse
 happens somewhere in the world
 Waxing Crescent Moon

Moon phase: intermediate

Moonrise: morning | Moonset: afternoon
Illumination: 0.1% to 49.9%
Orientation: right half is lit in Northern Hemisphere,
left half is lit in Southern Hemisphere
Position in space: moving from New Moon to First
Quarter Moon
The Crescent phases can be a good time to see 
Earthshine, when sunlight reflected from Earth gives
the dark areas of the Moon a faint glow.
 First Quarter Moon (Half Moon)

Moon phase: primary

Moonrise: around midday | Moonset: around
midnight
Illumination: 50%
Orientation: right half is lit in Northern Hemisphere,
left half is lit in Southern Hemisphere
Position in space: the Moon has gone one quarter of
the way around Earth
Look for the First Quarter Moon in the blue afternoon
sky.
FIRST QUARTER
 Waxing Gibbous Moon

Moon phase: intermediate

Moonrise: afternoon | Moonset: early morning
Illumination: 50.1% to 99.9%
Orientation: right half is lit in 
Northern Hemisphere,
left half is lit in Southern Hemisphere
Position in space: moving from First Quarter to
Full Moon
 Full Moon

Moon phase: primary

Moonrise: around sunset | Moonset: around 
sunrise
Illumination: 100%
Position in space: the Moon and the Sun are on
opposite sides of Earth
If the Moon’s path crosses the plane of Earth's orbit
around the Sun (the ecliptic) while the Sun, Earth,
and Moon are aligned at Full Moon, a lunar eclipse
 happens on the night side of Earth.
FULL MOON
 Waning Gibbous Moon

Moon phase: intermediate

Moonrise: evening | Moonset: morning
Illumination: 99.9% to 49.9%
Orientation: left half is lit in Northern Hemisphere
,
right half is lit in Southern Hemisphere
Position in space: moving from Full Moon to
Third Quarter Moon
The Moon can still look quite full a few days after
Full Moon in the Waning Gibbous phase.
 Third Quarter Moon (Half Moon)

Moon phase: primary

Moonrise: around midnight | Moonset: around
midday
Illumination: 50%
Orientation: left half is lit in Northern Hemisphere,
right half is lit in Southern Hemisphere
Position in space: the Moon has gone three
quarters of the way on its orbit around Earth
The Third Quarter Moon begins the last quarter of
the lunar cycle.
THIRD QUARTER
 Waning Crescent Moon

Moon phase: intermediate

Moonrise: early morning | Moonset: afternoon
Illumination: 49.9% to 0.1%
Orientation: left half is lit in Northern Hemisphere,
right half is lit in Southern Hemisphere
Position in space: moving from Third Quarter to
New Moon
The Crescent phases can be a good time to see 
Earthshine, when sunlight reflected from Earth gives
the dark areas of the Moon a faint glow.
