What order do the moon faces happen in?

Answer 1

The different moon phases are (in order):

• New moon
• Waxing crescent
• First quarter
• Waxing gibbous
• Full moon
• Waning gibbous
• Third quarter
• Waning crescent,
• (cycle repeats from new moon)

their are 8 moon phases but there is only 4 Major ones witch are (new moon first quarter full Moon and third quarter and last)

Answer 2

1st is New Moon

2nd is Waxing Moon

3rd is 1/4 Quarter Moon

4th Waxing Gibbous

5th Full Moon

6th Waning Gibbous

7th 1/4 Quarter Moon

Finally Waning Crescent

Answer 3

-- New Moon

-- (waxing crescent)

-- First Quarter

-- (waxing gibbous)

-- Full Moon

-- (waning gibbous)

-- Third Quarter

-- (waning crescent)

-- New Moon

Answer 4

First the new moon, then a waxing crescent, then on to the first quarter moon, the waxing gibbous moon, the Full Moon, that leans toward the waning gibbous moon, the last quarter moon, then waning crescent moon; just only to re-turn again.

Answer 5

New moon (Not visible)

Waxing crescent

First quarter

Waxing gibbous

Full moon (Fully visible)

Waning gibbous

Last quarter

Waning crescent

(then Back to new moon)

Answer 6

The moon phases are an interesting subject to study on:

New Moon

Waxing Crescent

First Quarter

Waxing Gibbous

Full Moon

Waning Gibbous

Last Quarter

Waning Crescent

3. Quarter Moon: The moon is continuously cycling through eight distinct stages, commonly referred to as phases. Below is a picture of the phases in sequential order, and then explanations of each phase.
4. Waxing Gibbous Moon: The moon is continuously cycling through eight distinct stages, commonly referred to as phases. Below is a picture of the phases in sequential order, and then explanations of each phase.
5. Full Moon: The moon is continuously cycling through eight distinct stages, commonly referred to as phases. Below is a picture of the phases in sequential order, and then explanations of each phase.
6. Waning Gibbous Moon: The moon is continuously cycling through eight distinct stages, commonly referred to as phases. Below is a picture of the phases in sequential order, and then explanations of each phase.
7. Last Quarter Moon: The moon is continuously cycling through eight distinct stages, commonly referred to as phases. Below is a picture of the phases in sequential order, and then explanations of each phase.
8. Waning Crescent Moon: The moon is continuously cycling through eight distinct stages, commonly referred to as phases. Below is a picture of the phases in sequential order, and then explanations of each phase.

Answer 8

Dear Wiki Questioner,

The moon has 8 distinct phases. In order of one complete cycle they are:

1) New Moon, this occurs when the moon is between the earth and the sun, and no light can reflect off of the moon and onto us. As a result, it is difficult to see the moon when it is in this phase!

2) Waxing Crescent, This occurs when the Moon is in position to just reflect a little bit of sunlight (so we can only see a little sliver!). The word "Waxing" simply means "getting bigger," because the moon is changing from completely dark to more and more bright.

3) 1/4 Moon, This occurs when half of the side of the moon that we can see reflects light from the sun to the earth.

4) Waxing Gibbous, You already know what "waxing" means (see part 2!). "Gibbous" simply means that more than half of the side of the moon that we see from earth is light up.

5) Full Moon, As the name indicates, this happens when we see the entire moon light by the sun's light!

6) Waning Gibbous, "Waning" is the opposite of "Waxing" and indicates that the moon is changing from full back to new (instead of the other way around). Gibbous, again, means that more than half (but not all) of the side of the moon that we see is reflecting the sun's light to earth.

7) 3/4 Moon, Here again we see only half of the earth-facing side illuminated by the sun, but it is Waning (unlike the 1/4 moon).

8) Waning Crescent, Here we are back to a point where only a small part of the moon (less than half) can reflect sunlight to earth.

...And then we return to (1) The New Moon to complete our Lunar Cycle!!!

If you are curious, the phases of the moon are caused by the relative geometry of the sun, earth and moon. Draw out a sketch of this geometry and you should be able to think of a configuration which allows earth to view each of the phases!!!

Answer 9

1. New moon

2. Young moon

3. Waxing crescent

4. First 1/4

5. Waxing gibbous

6. Full moon

7. Waning gibbous

8. Last 1/4

9. Waning crescent

10. Old moon

Answer 10

Full Moon, New Moon, Waxing gibbious, waning gibbious, first quarter, last quarter, waxing crescent, and waning crescent

The Order of the phases are...

New moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning bibbous, third quarter, waning crescent.

Those are the phases of the moon!
