First Quarter does.
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.
A week after the Full Moon the Moon looks like a semi circle again, this phase is called ''Third Quarter''
The time period between each moon phase is around 7.4 days, with the four main phases (new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter) occurring approximately every 29.5 days in a complete lunar cycle.
