What moon is after the first quarter moon?
Most people would think it was just the second quarter moon, but actually it is called a Gibbous moon, which is when the moon is waxing between a first-quarter moon and a full moon. It's actually not my own words, so if you want to know the actual researcher her name is Gail Gibbons. In my own words I would say that it is called a Gibbous moon when it is between a fit quarter moon and a full moon. If this is not all of the information you wanted, then you should go to your local space museums, astronomy centers, or libraries. Special thanks to Mary Ann, Age 8.

What earth phase do you see when you see a waxing gibbous phase on the moon?
It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.

What phases can we see less than one half of the lighted part of the moon?
