What is the moon phase that occurs after a new moon and only half of the lighted side can be seen?
This is the first quarter phase. The moon looks half lit, half in shadow, but you actually can only see one quarter of the moons surface at this point (during a full moon, you would only be able to see half of the moons surface - the half that faces us).
How does the moon change its phase?
New moon to New moon takes 29.53 days. During this time the moon goes through several phases; (New moon) Waxing crescent moon (First quarter moon - half moon) Waxing gibbous moon (Full moon) Waning gibbous moon (Last quarter moon - half moon) Waning crescent moon (Dark moon) So roughly 7.5 days between each; New-half, half-full, full-half, half-new.
What are the correct phases of the moon?
New, New Cresent, Quarter Moon, Half Moon, Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Half Moon, Waxing Cresent, New
How did the first quarter and thrid quarter phases get these names?
because only half of the visible moon is lite. we only see half the moon so only a quarter of the moon is lite.===================================Another take:After the New Moon . . .-- The 'first quarter' is the phase that's seen after 1/4 of the timeuntil the next New Moon has passed.-- The 'third quarter' is the phase that's seen after 3/4 of the timeuntil the next New Moon has passed.
What happens to the moon when its a half-moon?
The moon is only visible because of the sun's light, which is why the moon appears to glow. When there is a half moon, only half of the moon is reflecting off the sun's light. It all has to do with the angle of the moon, the sun, and the Earth, which is why the moon has so many different phases.

Why on cloudless nights can the moon still not be seen?
The Moon is only up about half the time; you may be looking up when the Moon is already set, or not yet up, or new.
If the sun is shining on half of the earth does the moon shine on the other half?
Not always. The Sun is always shining on half the earth, and when there is a full moon no part of the back side of our moon is shining.The only time that happens is for a split second every 27-28 days when the new moon happens.
What does the New Moon do?
we get a new moon and it is either full half full or very small
Which moon phase is not illuminated?
One half of the Moon is always illuminated, except during a lunar eclipse. But we only see part of it.You may be referring to the new moon, when the half that is lit up is facing away from the Earth, and the half that faces Earth is dark.
