What are the phase of themoon and what do they look like?
The first phase is a new moon, that is when you can't see the moon at all. Next is a waxing crescent, that is when the moon looks a bit like a banana. The next phase is a half moon (which in space it is actually a quarter moon but in Earth it looks like a half moon) is when the moon is right down the middle. Next is a waxing gibbous, which is when it is nearly full (3 quarters). The next phase is the full moon which is when you can see all the moon reflecting from the Sun. The next phase is a waning gibbous is when the moon is three quarters again but it is facing the other way because its getting smaller. The next phase is the half moon again but facing the other way. The next phase is a waning crescent Moon which is when the moon looks like a banana again but facing the other way. The next phase is back to the new moon when you can see nothing again. That is all the phases of the moon and it take about 28 days to do that while orbiting the earth.
