How long does it take for a moon phase to re- appear?
On average, 29 1/2 days.
How long does it take the moon to change from the new moon phase to the 1st quarter phase?
A full cycle is about 29.5 days, so a quarter cycle will be 1/4 of this, on average (divide 29.5 by 4). This is just an average; since the Moon's orbit is not a perfect circle, it may vary a bit.
Why is the phase in which half the moon is visible called a quarter moon?
Half of the Moon you cannot see because it faces away from Earth. Half of the side you could see is in darkness at "half Moon". That makes 3/4 of the Moon invisible and 1/4 visible. Hence "a quarter Moon" is visible. Another viewpoint: No, that's not really the answer. This is the answer: Let's start with "New Moon". Later, at "Full Moon", the Moon is halfway through its cycle of phases. Halfway between these two phases we see a half Moon. That's called the "first quarter" phase, because the Moon is a quarter of the way through its phases. So, that's why we see the half Moon at a "quarter" phase. It does cause confusion.
