Does the new moon appear small or large?

The "new moon" is technically not visible at all. The Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun and none of the illuminated part is visible from Earth. Sometime on the day of the new moon, the Moon will appear as a very thin crescent (last crescent or first crescent).

Why does the moon sometimes seem blue?

The term "blue moon" refers to the second full moon in a calendar month, which happens roughly every 2.7 years. The moon does not actually appear blue in color. The phrase "once in a blue moon" has led to the misconception that the moon can appear blue at times.


Does a gibbous moon appear to increase in size?

The moon has two main shapes (full and new only occur once a month each, and the half moon twice, so we will disregard those for now) - crescent and gibbous. It can also be waxing or waning. A waxing crescent or waxing gibbous will appear to grow larger every night, while a waning crescent or waning gibbous will appear to shrink.


Why do some clouds appear to be behind the moon?

Some clouds may appear to be behind the moon due to the relative positions of the clouds, the moon, and the observer. When clouds are at different altitudes in the atmosphere, lower clouds can appear to be behind the moon, especially when the moon is low on the horizon. Additionally, atmospheric perspective and the moon's brightness can create the illusion of depth, making it seem as if clouds are positioned behind the moon when they are actually further away.

First Quarter rises in the east around Noon, and Third Quarter sets in the west around Noon.
