After the moon is full, an observer on Earth will start to see less of the moon's sunlight hemisphere, we refer to this as "waning". By the time a week passes after a given full moon, the moon's phase will be close to Third Quarter and half of the moon will be illuminated.

How long does the moon take to go from Full Moon to Waning Gibbous?

The moon takes about 7 days to transition from a Full Moon to a Waning Gibbous phase.


How much time elapses between each of the four principal moon phases?

The time between each principal moon phase is roughly a week. Specifically, from New Moon to First Quarter Moon is about 7 days, from First Quarter to Full Moon is another 7 days, from Full Moon to Last Quarter Moon is approximately 7 days, and from Last Quarter back to New Moon is around 7 days as well.

Last full moon occurrs on a friday how many days has to pass to occurrs on next friday?

If the last full moon occurs on a Friday, the next full moon will typically occur about 29.5 days later. Therefore, to find the next Friday after the last full moon, you would count the days. Since a week has 7 days, it would take approximately 4 weeks (28 days) plus 1.5 days, resulting in the next full moon falling on a Saturday. Thus, the next Friday after the last full moon would be in 28 days.

How many days apart are the first quarter and the last quarter of the moon?

The first quarter and last quarter of the moon are each approximately 7 days apart from the new moon and full moon, respectively. Since the full moon occurs about 14 days after the new moon, the first quarter and last quarter phases are roughly 7 days apart from each other. Therefore, the first quarter and last quarter of the moon are about 14 days apart.


At the time of the half moon can you predict when the full moon will be?

Yes. The lunar cycle takes 29.5 days, so from the "first quarter" moon (in which one half of the lunar surface is illuminated) to the full moon is 7 days and a few hours.
