What is he position of the sun earth and the moon during a quarter phase?
During a quarter phase of the Moon, either the first or third quarter, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are positioned at approximately right angles to each other. In the first quarter phase, the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, while in the third quarter phase, the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. This positioning causes half of the Moon's surface to be illuminated and visible from Earth, creating the characteristic half-moon appearance.
Where would the quarter moon be in relation to the earth?
When the moon is in the same direction of the sun, it is called a new moon. A week after the new moon, when the moon has completed about a quarter of it's turn around Earth, this is called the first quarter and about three weeks after the new moon and a week after the full moon, it is called the last quarter. If you visualise the moon turning around the Earth and imagine that the direction of which the sun is shining is called the "front' of the Earth, the the quarter moon would be at the 'sides' of the Earth and the full moon is at the 'back'.
Describe the first quarter moon the new moon and the full moon?
the cicle is new moon, waxing crescent,first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning cresent,then new moon again and so on so a first quarter moon is when you can't seehalf the moon.

Why is there a half moon and quarter moon?
They are the same thing. "Half Moon" refers to half of the Moon's hemisphere that faces Earth being illuminated. That happens at one quarter and three quarters of the way through the Moon's phases. That's why we refer to the "first quarter" and the "third quarter" in the Moon's phases.

How are the sun moon and earth lined up during a quarter moon?
During a quarter moon, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are positioned at a right angle to each other. This alignment occurs when the Moon is either in its first quarter or last quarter phase, with the Earth located between the Sun and the Moon in the case of the first quarter, and the Moon positioned between the Earth and the Sun during the last quarter. As a result, half of the Moon's surface facing Earth is illuminated, creating the distinct half-moon appearance.
How long does it take the moon to get round the earth?
The moon goes around the earth every 27 days and 8 hours. (approximately)
