The nature of ... well, nature is that it is constantly in flux, changing, mutable. Asking a question like this is nearly pointless without some frame of reference. As noted below, the phase of the moon is constantly changing.

What is before a full moon?
Nothing is in front of it. Rather, part of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun, and part of it is dark. It is actually possible to see the dark side, especially near new moon - in this case, the dark side receives some light from the Earth - but much less than the bright side of the Moon.
If the moon is just entering the waning gibbous phase how many days will it enter the waning crescent phase?
There are two gibbous moons: The waxing gibbous moon and the waning gibbous moon. From New Moon to Waxing Gibbous, it is about 11 days; from New Moon to Waning Gibbous, it is about 18 or 19 days.
What moon phase is it when the right half of the moon is illuminated?
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
What phase of the moon follows the waxing crescent?
The moon appears as a waxing (growing) crescent for about a week, between the moments of New Moon and First Quarter.
What is the difference between waxing gibbous and waxing cressent?
'Waxing' means 'growing bigger as time goes on'. 'Crescent' is the less-than-half-full shape of the moon, during the first week after a New Moon. 'Gibbous' is the more-than-half-full shape, during the second week after a New Moon.
How often does the moon go through an entire set phases?
Every month. One month, give or take is when the moon goes through its full cycle. From new moon to [waxing crescent] to first quarter (week one) then to [waxing gibbous] to full moon (week two) then to [waning gibbous] to third quarter (week three) to [waning crescent] and finally by the end of the fourth week, new moon again.
How many moon phases are there in a month?
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.
What is a complete cycle from new moon to new moon?
it is called waxing. And if you are also wondering, changing from a full moon to a new moon is called waning.

What period of time elapses between the first quarter and the half moon?
* 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

Which day does waning gibbous occur?
The moon is in its waning (shrinking) gibbous phase for roughly the week after the Full Moon.
How many moon phases occur in a week?
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"
