The phases of the moon are:
New moon
Waxing crescent
Quarter moon
Waxing gibbous
Full moon
Waning gibbous
Third-quarter moon
Waning crescent
the new moon phase is the phase of the moon when the moon appears to not appear! in other words, you cant see it when its a new moon. this is because the moon is in between the earth and the sun. and the moon moves almost right with the sun. so the moon is hidden behind the suns bright glare. and so it goes down with the sun also. so theres no time to see it!
Moon phases are changes in appearance the moon goes through each month eg quarter moon, half moon, full moon etc
The phases of the moon (in order) are New Moon, Waxing Crescent, 1st Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, 3rd Quarter, Waning Crescent, and back to New Moon.
Earthshine is the faint glow on the part of the moon that is shadowed. It is best seen during the waning and waxing crescent phases of the moon.
The gibbous phases of the Moon occur when the visible face of the Moon is more than half illuminated, but not fully illuminated.

The changes in the moon's appearance are called lunar phases. They occur because of the moon's position relative to the sun and Earth, resulting in different amounts of the moon's illuminated surface visible from Earth.
For each orbit of the Earth by the Moon there are 2 crescents; the waxing crescent and the waning crescent.
The phases of the moon can be observed from any location on Earth.

3 to 5 phases
the moon is at new or full moon phases in other words between earth and sun, or 'behind' earth. This is because the gravitational pull works with the sun.
8 phases occur 4 wanning 4 waxing types

Higher-than-average "spring" tides occur at the new moon and full moon phases. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the quarter-moon phases.
