When the moon is not quite around where can the missing bit be found?

When the moon is not quite full, the missing bit can be found in the shadowed portion of the moon, which is illuminated by sunlight. This creates the crescent or gibbous shapes we see during different phases. The unlit part is often a darker area, contrasting with the bright section, and is sometimes faintly visible due to Earth's reflected light.


What phases of venus are predicted by the ptolemaic system?

The Ptolemaic system predicts that Venus goes through phases similar to the Moon, from crescent to full. This model was proposed by the ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy and was used to explain the varying appearances of Venus in the sky as seen from Earth.


What is the term used for the moon that is almost full but not quite?

A moon between half and full is called 'gibbous'.


When the moon is not quite roundwhere can the missing bit can be found?

When the moon is not quite round, the missing bit can be found in the shadowy regions of its surface, where the sunlight doesn't fully illuminate it. This creates the phases of the moon, such as the crescent or gibbous shapes. The darkened portion is simply the part that is not reflecting sunlight towards Earth.


If New Moon fell on March 2nd what is the Moon's phase on March 14th?

The phase is almost full, but not quite. The period of phases is about 29 days, so it takes 14.5 days for the Moon's phase to change from 'New' to 'Full'. If New Moon took place at some time on March 2, then Full Moon would occur on March 16, at about 12 hours later in that day.

What are two phases during which the moon appears almost full but not quite?

The two phases during which the moon appears almost full but not quite are the Waxing Gibbous and Waning Gibbous phases. In the Waxing Gibbous phase, the moon is transitioning from the First Quarter to Full Moon, showcasing more than half of its surface illuminated. Conversely, during the Waning Gibbous phase, the moon is moving from Full Moon to Last Quarter, still displaying a significant portion of its surface lit but gradually decreasing.

Three phases of matter?

There are actually quite a few more phases of matter, but the commonest three known are solid, liquid, and gas. Some texts cite as many as fifteen. At super-cold temperatures a phase with unusual properties, known as BEC can be manifest (Bose-Einstein Condensate); at very high temperatures, electrons can dissociate from their atoms in the Plasma phase. Between and within phases are sub-phases, sone of which describe matter during changes in phase (phase transition) and some of which are stable.

There is no such festival by that title. Quite the opposite ... an on-line search for the definition of that word seems to mark it as a word that would never be the title of anybody's festival. The question appears to be almost certainly an abuse of WikiAnswers.
