Is lunar phase and quarter moon the same?
"First Quarter" and "Third Quarter" are two of the eight names given to the moon's phases.
What are some facts about the third quarter moon?
Before sunrise on March 9, 2018, the moon will be at or near its last quarter phase. A last quarter moon always rises in the middle of the night, appears at its highest in the sky around dawn, and sets around midday. At last quarter, the lunar disk appears half-lit in sunshine and half-immersed in the moon's own shadow. The lunar terminator - the shadow line dividing day and night - shows you where it's sunset on the lunar terrain.Hope this helps.
Can a lunar eclipse occur during the quarter moon phase?
No, it cannot. Lunar eclipses (they really aren't even true eclipses) can happen only during full moon.
