New Moon = the moment when none of the moon's illuminated half is visible from the earth.

Waxing Crescent = about 7 days; visible portion growing from zero to half of the moon's disk

First quarter = the moment when half of the moon's disk is visible

Waxing gibbous = about 7 days; visible portion growing from half to all of the moon's disk

Full Moon = the moment when all of the moon;s illuminated half is visible from the earth.

Waning gibbous = about 7 days; visible portion shrinking from all to half of the moon's disk

Last quarter = the moment when half of the moon's disk is visible

Waning Crescent = about 7 days; visible portion shrinking from half of the moon's disk to zero
