When the lighted half of the moon faces away from earth is what phase?
crescent moon
What is the difference about the crescent phase that precedes the new moon phase and that which follows the new moon phase?
The crescent phase that precedes the new moon phase is called the waxing crescent, where the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing. The crescent phase that follows the new moon phase is called the waning crescent, where the illuminated portion of the moon is decreasing.
If you see a waning crescent phase what will you see in about 28 days?
