What are the names of the phases of the moon during a solar eclipse?
New Moon > New Crescent > First Quarter > Waxing Gibbous > Full Moon >Waning Gibbous > Last Quarter > Old Crescent > New Moon (again)
What is the position of the moon during neap tides?
first quarter and last quarter
This is caused by the straight alinment of the sun earth and moon?
False. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves directly between the sun and the earth. The reason the sun is eclipsed (a solar eclipse) is because earth falls into the moon's shadow.A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth passes between the moon and sun.
What is the angular separation between the center of the sun and the center of the moon as seen from the center of the earth?
Depending on where the moon is in its orbit, that angle can be anything. For example: -- At any New Moon, it's a couple of degrees or less. -- During any solar eclipse, it's 1/2 degree or less. -- During a total solar eclipse, it's zero. -- At First Quarter or Last Quarter, it's within a degree or two of 90 degrees. -- At Full Moon, it's within a degree or two of 180 degrees. -- During any lunar eclipse, it's within 1/2 degree of 180 degrees.
How often do tides occur?
during the first and last quarter of the moons gravitational

Is only one-quarter of the moon illuminated during the first-quarter moon?
Exactly 50% of the moon is illuminated by the sun at every instant of time (except during a lunar eclipse).From our vantage point on earth, the amount of the illuminated half that we can see at any time changesduring the month."First Quarter" means the first quarter of the moon's entire cycle of phases ... about 7.4 days after the"New Moon". At that time, we see half of the illuminated part of the moon ... you'd call it a "half moon".
What kind of eclipse will occur if the moon is in the outer portion of the shadow?
During a full moon lunar eclipses can occur.
What is the position of the moon during neap tides?
first quarter and last quarter

Which side of the sun is covered first during a solar eclipse?
East
The amount of the lighted side of the moon you can see is the same during?
first quarter and third quarter phase.

Can Moon go from a quarter moon to half moon from day to night?
No. You may be getting hung up on the terminology; at the "first quarter moon" and "third quarter moon", one HALF of the visible face of the Moon is illuminated. There is no "half moon" phase. One half of the surface of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun at ALL times, except during a lunar eclipse; during a total lunar eclipse, none of the Moon's surface is in the sunlight. The rest of the time, half of the Moon is in sunlight, and the other half is in darkness. From our perspective on Earth, we see "phases" as the Moon goes around the Earth and we see it from different angles.
During the first quarter phase how much of the appears illuminated?
it is one half
How often do tides occur?
during the first and last quarter of the moons gravitational
What are the four phrases of the lunar cycle?
The four main phases of the lunar cycle are the New Moon (which is not visible except during an eclipse), First Quarter (waxing half moon), Full Moon (all of which is visible) and Third Quarter (waning half moon). The moon phases in between the four main phases are the crescent and gibbous phases.
