a 2nd quarter moon is a phase of the moon and the moon goes through 4 phases.
In the second quarter.
After the first quarter moon comes the waxing gibbous moon. The waxing gibbous moon appears as the illuminated portion of the moon grows larger each night until it reaches a full moon.
The first quarter moon occurs when the moon is one-quarter of the way through its lunar cycle, and it appears as a half-circle in the sky. This phase marks the halfway point between the new moon and the full moon. It is a good time for taking action, making decisions, and moving forward with plans.
A Waxing Gibbous occurs when the moon is illuminated between a First Quarter and a Full Moon, during the second half of the moon's cycle. It appears as a larger part of the moon illuminated, but not yet full.
The four faces of the moon are called the Phases of the Moon. They are the New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter.
