The Moon was full two days ago, so for the next 5 days the Moon will be in the "waning gibbous" phase. On Saturday, 2/6/10, the Moon will be at the Third Quarter phase.
Because as the moon is moving around the earth the earth is moving around the sun, meaning each week a different amount of light is hitting the moon because of the position of the sun and moon to earth
Known as "First Quarter". The moon appears half-illuminated. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the half you see to your RIGHT. The moon rises in the east at roughly Noon, and sets in the west at roughly Midnight.
A week after the Full Moon the Moon looks like a semi circle again, this phase is called ''Third Quarter''
Third quarter moon.
First Quarter does.
October 1, 2010 was the 3rd quarter moon, and October 7th was the new moon. You can interpolate from there, I'm sure.
"The rest of the moon" is reliqua luna.

Alot of planets are The days of the week except for SUN(sun's)day, MON(moon's)day. The rest are named for either Norse or Roman gods.
Because as the moon is moving around the earth the earth is moving around the sun, meaning each week a different amount of light is hitting the moon because of the position of the sun and moon to earth
