What does gibbous mean?
The word gibbous is defined as convex or protuberant. When referring to the moon, it means any phase of the moon less than full but greater than one-half.
What is a gibbous moon?
The phase of the Moon during which more than half, but less than all, of the visible hemisphere of the Moon is illuminated by sunlight. A gibbous moon is between a full moon and a half moon, or between a half moon and a full moon. There can be two gibbous moons: waxing and waning. " A gibbous moon is one of the phases of the Moon when the size of the illuminated portion is greater than half but not a full Moon. The period between a first quarter moon and a full moon is known as a waxing gibbous moon, because the illuminated region of the Moon is increasing from day to day. After it becomes a full moon, but hasn't reached the last quarter, the Moon is called a waning gibbous moon."
What moon phase was visible from earth one week later on September 19 2013?
One week after September 12, 2013, the moon phase visible from Earth on September 19, 2013, was the Waxing Gibbous. This phase occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not yet full, typically occurring between the First Quarter and Full Moon phases.
HAS THERE ever been a full moon for 6 weeks?
Nope. It's impossible to have one phase of the moon for more than three days.
If the moon is in the new phase tonight what phase will it be one week from now?
One week from now, the moon will likely be in the first quarter phase, where half of the moon is illuminated. The new moon phase is followed by the waxing crescent phase and then the first quarter phase in the lunar cycle.
What phase of the moon when there is less than one half of the moon?
Waxing crescent

Waxing moon phase in which one half of the moons lighted side can be seen from Earth?
The waxing moon phase is when the moon is transitioning from new moon to full moon, and the illuminated portion of the moon is growing larger each night. During this phase, we can see more than half of the moon's lighted side from Earth.
How long does it takes the moon to go from full moon phase to new moon phase?
Two weeks or, more precisely, about one half of the synodic period of 29.53 days.
Which moon phase occurs approximately one week after the new moon phase?
Approximately one week after the new moon phase, the waxing crescent moon phase occurs. This phase is characterised by a small sliver of the moon becoming visible on the right side.
What is the scientific name for a mixture in which you can see more than one phase?
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which you can see more than one phase.
What is the phase where more than one-fourth of the moon is visible?
More than 1/4 of the moon is visible from roughly 7.4 days after the New Moon until roughly 7.4 days before the next New Moon ... about 14.8 days all together. That period of time begins at First Quarter phase, extends through the waxing gibbous, Full Moon, and waning gibbous phases, and ends at Third Quarter.
Do mixtures always have more than one phase Why?
No. Mixtures can be a single phase, such as in the case of salt water. This is a homogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture would have more than one phase.
How long from one new moon phase to the next new moon phase?
About 29.5 days.
What does gibbous moon look like?
A gibbous moon appears as more than half but less than fully illuminated, with the left side more illuminated in the waxing gibbous phase and the right side more illuminated in the waning gibbous phase. It looks like a large, slightly bulging shape in the sky.
What is the difference about the crescent phase that precedes the new moon phase and that which follows the new moon phase?
The crescent phase that precedes the new moon phase is called the waxing crescent, where the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing. The crescent phase that follows the new moon phase is called the waning crescent, where the illuminated portion of the moon is decreasing.
