The moon exhibits a complete cycle of phases in 29.53 days.
New Moon.
The phase of the Moon that comes immediately before the new Moon phase is the waning crescent phase.
The phase of the moon that follows the waning gibbous phase is the third quarter phase. During this phase, half of the moon is illuminated, and it appears as a half-moon. The third quarter occurs roughly a week after the full moon and signifies the moon's transition towards the new moon phase.
The moon phase where you see less of the lighted side is called the New Moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, causing the side of the moon that is illuminated by sunlight to face away from Earth. As a result, the moon appears mostly dark and is often not visible in the night sky.
A waxing Moon can be seen when the Moon is larger in the sky, and is moving from the new Moon phase, and into the full Moon phase. A waning Moon is seen when the Moon is visibly smaller in the sky, and is moving from the full Moon phase, and into the new Moon phase.
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.
