How did the first quarter and thrid quarter phases get these names?
because only half of the visible moon is lite. we only see half the moon so only a quarter of the moon is lite.===================================Another take:After the New Moon . . .-- The 'first quarter' is the phase that's seen after 1/4 of the timeuntil the next New Moon has passed.-- The 'third quarter' is the phase that's seen after 3/4 of the timeuntil the next New Moon has passed.
Why is the phase in which half the moon is visible called a quarter moon?
Half of the Moon you cannot see because it faces away from Earth. Half of the side you could see is in darkness at "half Moon". That makes 3/4 of the Moon invisible and 1/4 visible. Hence "a quarter Moon" is visible. Another viewpoint: No, that's not really the answer. This is the answer: Let's start with "New Moon". Later, at "Full Moon", the Moon is halfway through its cycle of phases. Halfway between these two phases we see a half Moon. That's called the "first quarter" phase, because the Moon is a quarter of the way through its phases. So, that's why we see the half Moon at a "quarter" phase. It does cause confusion.
