What happens to the moon when its a half-moon?
The moon is only visible because of the sun's light, which is why the moon appears to glow. When there is a half moon, only half of the moon is reflecting off the sun's light. It all has to do with the angle of the moon, the sun, and the Earth, which is why the moon has so many different phases.

What is a half moon?
A half moon is a lunar phase where half of the moon's visible surface is illuminated by the sun. This occurs when the moon is positioned at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the sun. Half moons are also known as the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, depending on which side is illuminated.
