What does the moon do after a full moon?

It wanes to become the Last Quarter and then it becomes the next New Moon. The Moon orbits the Earth approximately once every 28 or 29 days. At day '1' it is a New Moon. (Possible Solar Eclipse) At day '7' it is in First Quarter. (Seen as a half Moon shape in the evening) Ar day '14' it is at Full Moon ( Seen completely round and bright at night. Possible Lunar Eclipse). Ar day '21' it is at Last Quarter. (Seen as a half Moon shape in the morning). At day 28/29 it is at New Moon gain ( to repeat the next orbit). From day '1' to day '14' it is in the WAXING phase. From day '14' to day '28/29' it is in the WANING phase). From day '21' through day '1' to day '7' it is CRESCENT shaped. From day '7' through day '14' to day '21' it is GIBBOUS shaped. The plane of the Moon's orbit about the Earth is angled at about 5 degrees to the plane of the Earth's orbit about the Sun. This is the reason why at a given phase point it may appear to be higher/lower in sky than at the same point in its previous orbit. The Moon makes 13 orbits about the Earth in one Year. The Earth and the Moon follow a mean orvital track about the Sun. However, because the Moon is so large and near to Earth, it pulls the Earth in and out of this mean track. We can think of the Earth and Moon 'dancing' through space. The old lore in England; In very clear weather sometimes you see the crescent Moon, with the 'ghost' of the full circle of the Moon. It is said of as being the New Moon with the Old Moon in her arms'.


How does a day on the moon compare to a year on the moon?
