Approximately two to three.... and they depend on the theoretical "starting point" phase. It takes about two weeks for the moon to go from "new" to "full". So, in one week the moon could go from "first quarter" to "waxing gibbous" to "full"
The moon's phases are caused by the earth blocking the light from sun and casting a shadow on the moon. we are between the moon and the sun entirely at a new a new moon and we are not blocking any sun light at full moon.
yes it does.
It is just past the New Moon. The first quarter is on the 24th August. At first Quarter it may be seen in early evening sky. Currently, it is in the day-time sky. It is shaped like a very thin crescent. So because of its shape and the brightness of the sky, it will not be readily seen with naked eye.
* Dark Moon - Not visible * New Moon - Not visible, or traditionally, the first visible crescent of the Moon * Waxing Crescent Moon - Right 1-49% visible * First Quarter Moon - Right 50% visible * Waxing gibbous Moon - Right 51-99% visible * Full Moon - Fully visible * Waning gibbous Moon - Left 51-99% visible * Third Quarter Moon - Left 50% visible * Waning Crescent Moon - Left 1-49% visible * New Moon - Not visible ref from http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=moon+phases&gwp=13 Rob
They landed during the lunar morning. A full day/night on the moon lasts about 29 days on Earth, so the Lunar morning lasted nearly a week.
The moon's so-called "quarter" phases occur a quarter of a month (i.e. a week) before and after the New Moon. On each of those occasions, the moon appears half-full.
This question is not answerable as phases of the moon change every week.
Seven days roughly corresponds to the phases of the moon.
Because god said so no questions!!
there are 8 phases of the moon: new moon, waxing cresent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning cresent. then it goes back to mew moon and repeats itself over and over again.
During it's normal course of phases, from full moon to last quarter is about a week.
The moon exhibits a complete cycle of phases in 29.53 days.
There are two phases of the moon that appear to be a half disk: the first quarter and the third quarter. The entire cycle of moon phases takes about 28 days (27.3217 days). Counting the day of a new moon as the first day, then the phases in order are: • waxing crescent • first quarter (a half lit moon resembling the letter "D") at end of week one • waxing gibbous • full at end of week two • waning gibbous • third quarter (a half lit moon resembling the letter "C") at end of week three • waning crescent • and back to the new moon, completing the cycle after week four
iiWHAT IT MEANS!! A lunar week is when the whole week has every single phase of the moon.If there is lunar phases every single day of the year then there is a lunar year.If there is only for a month then it is called a lunar month.A lunar cycle are called to the phases of the moon.

The moon is in its waning (shrinking) gibbous phase for roughly the week after the Full Moon.
Changes year to year as it is based on the phases of ther moon - but usually April around the second week.
