When there is a half moon where will it be located?
There are two phases of half moon, known as first quarter and third quarter. At first quarter, the Moon is one quarter of its journey around Earth, measured from new moon. If you look straight at a first quarter half moon, the Sun should be about 90° to your right, and you would see it in the evening. At third quarter, the Moon is three quarters of its journey around Earth, measured from new moon. If you look straight at a third quarter half moon, the Sun should be about 90° to your left , and you would see it in the early hours of the morning. We don't see that as often, as we are more likely to be in bed. If you look carefully and the conditions are right, you will see half moons during daylight.
