That's the "gibbous" phase.
It is when the moon is more than half full and getting larger. So it is any stage between half full and full.
About a week after the full moon, the moon is called the last quarter moon and it's "face" appears to be half lit. More than half lit is a gibbous and less than half lit is a crescent.
It is exactly like when the moon looks like when it is half full.
One person could look at a glass of liquid and say that it is half full while another person looks at the same glass and says it is half empty. The glass is a metaphor for life. Both people are correct, but the one who described the glass as half full looks at life optimistically, with a positive outlook, while the other, who has been no less successful in life, looks at life pessimistically, with a negative outlook. :) half full :( half empty
Yeah. Am always choosing half full glass of water. Because am always looks forward.
There is no name for it, but it looks very nice!
Gibbous refers to the way the moon looks when it is between half-full and full (or between full and half-full, when it is waning). When it is waxing, it looks a bit like the letter D with the back bulging outward: the entire right side is lit, and the left side is partially lit.
The moon would be called a waxing gibbous when it is just larger than a half.
semilunar valves are called semilunar because they look like half a moon. If something is not full in biology it is called 'semi' and lunar means the moon. So basicaly its called that because the valve looks like a half moon.
half moon
A Glass Half Full. Looks on the brighter side of life. Postive Outlook.
Half a circle is called a semicircle
