More than a quarter of the moon is visible and the visible portion is becoming smaller as the moon moves toward the third quarter phase?

It sounds like the moon is currently waxing gibbous, with more than a quarter but less than half of the moon visible. As it progresses towards the third quarter phase, the visible portion will continue to decrease until only half of the moon is visible.


When does the gibbous phase of the moon occur?

The gibbous phases of the Moon occur when the visible face of the Moon is more than half illuminated, but not fully illuminated.


What are creasent moon first quarter and waning and waxing gibbous are some of?

These are different phases of the moon based on its appearance as observed from Earth. Crescent moon is when less than half of the moon is visible, first quarter is when half of the moon is visible, waning gibbous is when more than half but less than full moon is visible, and waxing gibbous is the phase when more than half but less than full moon is visible.


What moon phase is mostly visible during the day?

The phase of the moon that is mostly visible during the day is the waxing gibbous phase. During this phase, the moon is more than half illuminated and is positioned in the sky such that it can be seen in the afternoon and early evening. This visibility occurs because the moon is rising in the east while the sun is setting in the west, allowing both to be seen simultaneously.


What is the description of the moon in its phase when the illuminated area is greater than a semicircle and less than a circle?

The moon is in its gibbous phase when the illuminated area is greater than a semicircle but less than a full circle. This phase is between the first quarter and full moon phases, when more than half of the moon's face is visible from Earth, but it is not yet completely illuminated.
