The waxing phase of the moon when you can see half of the lighted side is called the First Quarter Moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned at a right angle to the Earth and sun, resulting in half of its surface being illuminated. This occurs approximately one week after the New Moon phase, marking the transition from darkness to increasing light.
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 new Moon, when half of the Moon's face is illuminated, it is called the First Quarter phase. During this phase, the Moon appears as a semi-circle, with the right half lit up in the Northern Hemisphere. This occurs as the Moon moves in its orbit and more of its surface becomes visible from Earth.
A week after the new moon, the moon is in its first quarter phase. During this phase, half of the moon's face is illuminated by sunlight, creating a semicircular shape. This occurs because the moon is positioned at a right angle relative to the Earth and the Sun, allowing us to see the illuminated portion from our vantage point.
In the new Moon phase.
You see the shadow of Earth cast upon the moon. The Sun's light creates the shadow and illuminates the quarter moon you see.
Just after the 'New Moon', the 'Crescent Moon' fills out into the 'First Quarter Moon'. Please see the related link below:
During the new moon phase, the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun, making it impossible to see.
