The moon cycles through 4 phases every month. There are about 3 weeks between the first and last quarter phases of the moon.
Waxing gibbous
The first quarter moon occurs when the moon is halfway between the new moon and full moon, and one-quarter of its surface is illuminated. It appears as a half-circle in the sky, with the right side illuminated. It is also known as a half moon.
Approximately 14 days must elapse between the first-quarter moon and the third-quarter moon. This period represents half of a full lunar cycle, which lasts about 29.5 days.
Waxing Gibbous
A waxing crescent.
Waxing crescent.
the cicle is new moon, waxing crescent,first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning cresent,then new moon again and so on so a first quarter moon is when you can't seehalf the moon.
I believe that the anwser is last quarter.
During a quarter moon, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are positioned at a right angle to each other. This alignment occurs when the Moon is either in its first quarter or last quarter phase, with the Earth located between the Sun and the Moon in the case of the first quarter, and the Moon positioned between the Earth and the Sun during the last quarter. As a result, half of the Moon's surface facing Earth is illuminated, creating the distinct half-moon appearance.
