When does the lunar cycle occur?
It is happening all the time. The lunar cycle is the 29-day cycle of new moon, first quarter moon, full moon, last quarter moon and new moon again, and repeat.
What are the four phrases of the lunar cycle?
The four main phases of the lunar cycle are the New Moon (which is not visible except during an eclipse), First Quarter (waxing half moon), Full Moon (all of which is visible) and Third Quarter (waning half moon). The moon phases in between the four main phases are the crescent and gibbous phases.
What moon phases does the lunar cycle began with?
The time it takes for the moon to travel around the earth one time is called a lunar cycle. A lunar cycle generally takes about 29 days to complete, but it can be shorter or longer. A lunar cycle begins with a new moon.
What is a complete cycle from new moon to new moon?
it is called waxing. And if you are also wondering, changing from a full moon to a new moon is called waning.
What is the phase of the moon between the new moon and the first quarter phase of the moon called?
The various stages: * New moon - 0% visible* Waxing crescent - between new and first quarter* First quarter - 50% visible* Waxing gibbous - between first quarter and full* Full moon - 100% visible* Waning gibbous - between full and last quarter* Last quarter - 0% visible* Waning crescent - between last quarter and new* New - cycle repeats

Why when hurricanes form during a new moon they are more damaging than ones formed during the third quarter of the lunar cycle?
There is no truth to this.

Why does the moon look different throughout a full lunar cycle?
The sun lights a different portion of the moon's face during the lunar cycle.
Can a lunar eclipse occur during the quarter moon phase?
No, it cannot. Lunar eclipses (they really aren't even true eclipses) can happen only during full moon.
During what phase of the lunar cycle can we see the entire sunlight part of the moon?
full moon
What phase is it when the moon is halfway through the lunar cycle?
The moon will be a full moon, halfway through the lunar cycle.
At the time of the half moon can you predict when the full moon will be?
Yes. The lunar cycle takes 29.5 days, so from the "first quarter" moon (in which one half of the lunar surface is illuminated) to the full moon is 7 days and a few hours.
Is only one-quarter of the moon illuminated during the first-quarter moon?
Exactly 50% of the moon is illuminated by the sun at every instant of time (except during a lunar eclipse).From our vantage point on earth, the amount of the illuminated half that we can see at any time changesduring the month."First Quarter" means the first quarter of the moon's entire cycle of phases ... about 7.4 days after the"New Moon". At that time, we see half of the illuminated part of the moon ... you'd call it a "half moon".
