The moon is the only natural
satellite that Earth has. A satellite
is an object that revolves around a
larger object. The moon does not
produce its own light. It only
reflects the light coming from the
sun. Since the moon is revolving
around the Earth, the amount of
light it reflects from the sun varies
as it changes its position.
The moon’s appearance changes from time to time. It is because the
illuminated portion on the moon changes as it move around the Earth. This
apparent change in the appearance of the moon is known as the phases of the
moon.
The moon has four phases. These are the new, first quarter, full moon, and
the last quarter moon. It takes about one week for a moon to change from one
phase to another.
When the moon is between the sun and the Earth, you cannot see the moon;
it is called New Moon. During this phase, the moon is not visible from the
Earth. This is because the side of the moon that is facing us is not being lit by
the sun.
About a week after the new moon, you will see half of the lighted side
of the moon. This is called first quarter moon.
A week after the first quarter moon, you can see the whole lighted side
of the moon. This is called full moon. A full moon appears as an entire
circle in the sky.
On the third week of the month, you will see again half of the moon’s
lighted part. This is called the last quarter moon. Soon the moon disappears
again; another new moon appears.
When the moon is in between the appearance of the quarter moon and
new moon, the moon is called crescent. Crescent moon is less than half-lit.
When the moon is in between quarter moon and the full moon, the moon is called
gibbous. Gibbous moon is more than half –lit.
The moon goes through these eight phases in 29 ½ days. The period it takes the moon
to complete is called month.
After a new moon, when the moon seems to be growing, it is undergoing a waxing
phase. As the moon starts to appear in a semicircular form, waxing crescent starts to
appear. During the first quarter, half of the moon is lighted and visible. When most of the
portion of the moon is visible in the sky, it is known as waxing gibbous. Then, the whole
lighted side of the moon that is visible from Earth is known as the full moon. A full moon
appears as an entire circle in the sky.
After full moon, the waning phase of the moon starts. It is when the moon appears to
be getting smaller each night. Waning gibbous appears after a full moon. Most of the
portion of the moon is visible in the sky but, this time, it gets smaller every night. Then,
the last quarter will be seen followed by a waning crescent.
