What side of the moon would have reflected light if it is in a waning phase?
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the left side of the moon is illuminated. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the right side of the moon is illuminated. Regardless of hemisphere, the western half of the moon is illuminated during the waning moon phases.
What side is the waning moon on?
The waning moon appears on the left side when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon decreases, moving from full to new. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, the waning moon appears on the right side. This difference is due to the perspective from which observers in each hemisphere view the moon.
When the Right edge of moon is illuminated?
This is a waxing crescent Moon. (When viewed from the northern hemisphere.)
What is the moon description after the new moon?
After the new moon, the moon appears as a waxing crescent, meaning it is growing in size. It is characterized by only a sliver of the moon being visible, with the illuminated portion on the right-hand side in the northern hemisphere and on the left-hand side in the southern hemisphere.
What side is the first quarter moon on?
The First Quarter moon is one quarter day behind the sun. So when the sun sets, that particular moon phase is nominally where the sun was at Noon ... due south in the northern hemisphere, due north in the southern hemisphere.
What side of the moon would have reflected light if it is in a waning phase?
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the left side of the moon is illuminated. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the right side of the moon is illuminated. Regardless of hemisphere, the western half of the moon is illuminated during the waning moon phases.
Which side of the moon is illuminated as it wanes from a full to new?
If you live in the Northern hemisphere, the illuminated side is on the left.In the Southern hemisphere, the opposite is true.
What side is the waning moon on?
The waning moon appears on the left side when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon decreases, moving from full to new. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, the waning moon appears on the right side. This difference is due to the perspective from which observers in each hemisphere view the moon.
Which hemisphere is on the opposite side of the globe?
The 180th Meridian is the hemisphere that is on the opposite side of the globe. Also, there is the quadrilateral and western hemisphere.
When the Right edge of moon is illuminated?
This is a waxing crescent Moon. (When viewed from the northern hemisphere.)
What is the moon description after the new moon?

The opposite side of the world is called?
The world is divided into Northern and Southern Hemispheres and Eastern and Western Hemispheres. If you are in England then the opposite side of the world is the Southern Hemisphere from one pole to the other or the Eastern Hemisphere from one side of the Earth to the other.
What side is the first quarter moon on?
The First Quarter moon is one quarter day behind the sun. So when the sun sets, that particular moon phase is nominally where the sun was at Noon ... due south in the northern hemisphere, due north in the southern hemisphere.
What is the hemisphere on the moon planet?
Any half of a planet with a great circle as a boundary can be called a hemisphere. Most often the equator is used as a boundary dividing the planet into a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere. The Earth has an accepted "prime meridian" (which runs through Greenwich England) and the continuation of that meridian divides the Earth into an eastern and a western hemisphere.
What is the difference between the waning and waxing phases of the moon?
In the northern hemisphere, if the left side of the Moon is dark then the light part is growing, and the Moon is referred to as waxing (moving toward a full moon). If the right side of the Moon is dark then the light part is shrinking, and the Moon is referred to as waning (moving toward a new moon). Assuming that the viewer is in the northern hemisphere, the right portion of the Moon is the part that is always growing (i.e., if the right side is dark, the Moon is growing darker; if the right side is lit, the Moon is growing lighter). In the southern hemisphere the Moon is observed from a perspective inverted to that of the northern hemisphere, so the opposite sides appear to grow (wax) and shrink (wane).
On what side of a tree in the southern hemisphere does moss typically grow?
Moss typically grows on the south side of trees in the southern hemisphere.
Which side of the moon will appear illuminated one week after the full moon?
One week after the full moon, the moon is in its third quarter phase. During this phase, the left half of the moon appears illuminated when viewed from the Northern Hemisphere, while the right half appears illuminated from the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the sunlight is shining on the opposite side of the moon compared to the full moon phase.
