What are creasent moon first quarter and waning and waxing gibbous are some of?
These are different phases of the moon based on its appearance as observed from Earth. Crescent moon is when less than half of the moon is visible, first quarter is when half of the moon is visible, waning gibbous is when more than half but less than full moon is visible, and waxing gibbous is the phase when more than half but less than full moon is visible.
What is the summery for the story moon phases?
gbfrveufbrg A good summary of the story "Moon Phases", (if I am talking about the same book as you are) is that there are many different phases of the moon. There is a crescent moon, full moon, half moon, and much more! (name all if necessary). The moon changes over time. The moon is always there in the day time, however, in the night it shines, so it's clearer to see, and more visible. :)
What do you call the moon when over half is visible?
Depending on the cycle, it is a waxing or waning gibbous moon if it is more than half visible. If it's completely visible, it's a full moon.
When does the gibbous phase of the moon occur?
The gibbous phases of the Moon occur when the visible face of the Moon is more than half illuminated, but not fully illuminated.
More than a quarter of the moon is visible and the visible portion is becoming smaller as the moon moves toward the third quarter phase?
It sounds like the moon is currently waxing gibbous, with more than a quarter but less than half of the moon visible. As it progresses towards the third quarter phase, the visible portion will continue to decrease until only half of the moon is visible.

What some people call a half moon in which one half of the illuminated side is visible is actually what kind of moon?
That happens at the times of the First Quarter and Last Quarter phases. "Half moon" is actually not a bad description for what you see at that time. It's more than a crescent, but less than gibbous.
When does the gibbous phase of the moon occur?

What are two phases of a waxing Moon and how do they appear?
The two phases of a waxing Moon are the first quarter and gibbous. During the first quarter, half of the Moon is illuminated and appears as a half-circle in the sky. During the gibbous phase, more than half but not yet fully illuminated, the Moon appears as a large, slightly bulging shape.
How long does the moon take to go through the 8 phases?
The moon takes approximately 29.5 days to go through its complete cycle of 8 phases, which is known as a lunar month or synodic month. These phases include: New Moon: When the moon is between the Earth and the Sun, and the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated. Waxing Crescent: When a small part of the moon begins to show after the new moon. First Quarter: When half of the moon is illuminated and visible from Earth. Waxing Gibbous: When more than half of the moon is illuminated and increasing towards a full moon. Full Moon: When the entire face of the moon is illuminated. Waning Gibbous: When the moon starts to decrease in illumination after the full moon. Last Quarter: When half of the moon is again visible, but it is the opposite half as the first quarter. Waning Crescent: When only a small part of the moon is illuminated before it transitions back to a new moon. This cycle repeats every 29.5 days, which is why the phases of the moon change slightly from one month to the next.
What is a moonless period called?

What will the moon phase be tomorrow?
The four major moon phases, which are about a week apart, arenew moon,first quarter,full moon, andlast quarter.As the amount of sunlight we see on the moon increases from new moon to full moon, the moon is said to be waxing. As that amount decreases from full moon to new moon, the moon is said to be waning. Also, when less than half of the visible side of the moon is lit, it is called a crescent, and when more than half is lit, it is called gibbous. Inserting into the list of moon phases the descriptions of the moon between phases gives us the following list:new moonwaxing crescentfirst quarterwaxing gibbousfull moonwaning gibbouslast quarterwaning crescent(new moon)
When are craters most visible on the moon?
Craters on the moon are most visible when the sunlight hits them at a low angle, such as during the waxing or waning phases of the moon. This creates long shadows that make the crater edges more prominent.
