What else can I help you with?
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).
Phase of the moon when you only see half of the lighted side after a full moon?

What is called when the waning Moon phase in which only one-half of the lighted side of the Moon can be seen from Earth?
The waning Moon phase in which only one-half of the lighted side of the Moon can be seen from Earth is called the Third Quarter Moon. It occurs when the Moon has completed three-quarters of its 29.5-day cycle.
What phenomenon is caused when a person on earth cannot see all of the fully lighted side of the moon?
This is what causes the so-called "phases" of the moon: although fully half of the moon is lighted, we can only see part of the lighted part. A person on earth hardly ever sees all of the lighted side of the moon. When he does, he calls the sight a "full moon."
What phase is the moon in when you can only see small parts?
Those shapes, and the corresponding phases, are called "crescents" ... when the lighted part that we see is less than half of a full disk.
When the moon has completed three fourths of its orbit and only half of the lighted side can be seen what phase is this?

What is it called when you see two moons?

Why can't you see a lighted moon at one stage in the lunar cycle?
One half of the moon, the side that faces the Sun, is always lighted. But we usually see only part of the lighted side (phases) as the Moon orbits the Earth. When the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun (a new moon) none of the lighted side, facing the Sun, is visible from Earth.
Why is earth not fully lighted?
Because the earth relies on the light from the sun. Only half of the planet can be lit at any time - due to the fact that light travels in straight lines.
How many moons does earth have and what's their names?
Only one so it's called The Moon.
