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.

A last quarter moon occurs approximately 22 to 23 days after a new moon. The lunar cycle, from one new moon to the next, takes about 29.5 days, with the last quarter phase occurring roughly three-quarters of the way through this cycle. Therefore, after a new moon, the last quarter moon appears about three weeks later.
