What else can I help you with?
Right half of moon is illuminated.?
When the right half of the moon is illuminated it would be called first quarter. (That's when you see the Moon from the northern hemisphere.)
Which gibbous moon is illuminated on the right and which one is illuminated on the left?
The waxing gibbous is illuminated on the right and has its "horns" on the left, and so is shaped rather like this ). The waning gibbous, on the other hand, is illuminated on the left and has its "horns" on the right, and so is shaped rather like this (. (Comment: That's only if you're in the northern hemisphere.)
What side of the moon would have reflected light if it is in a waning phase?
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the left side of the moon is illuminated. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, the right side of the moon is illuminated. Regardless of hemisphere, the western half of the moon is illuminated during the waning moon phases.
When the right half of the moon is illuminated this is often described as?
Waxing moving towards a full moon.
Which side of a waxing moon illuminated seen from the north pole?
The right side of a waxing moon is illuminated when seen from the north pole. This is because the moon's light is coming from the sun towards the moon from the right side.

What kind of moon is it when the right half is illuminated?
Light on the right means the moon is waxing (going towards a full moon), while light on the left means the moon is waning (going from a full moon).
What are all of the moon phases and what they look like?
New Moon -All dark, no moon showing Waxing Crescent -1/4 of the right side of the moon is showing First Quarter -1/2 of the right side of the moon is showing Waxing Gibbous -3/4 of the right side of the moon is showing Full -all the the moon is showing Waning Gibbous -3/4 of the left side of the moon is showing Third Quarter -1/2 of the left side of the moon is showing Waning Crescent -1/4 of the left side of the moon is showing
How can you determine if a crescent moon is waxing or waning when you see it in the sky?
To determine if a crescent moon is waxing or waning, look at the shape of the illuminated side. If the illuminated side is on the right, it is waxing (getting bigger). If the illuminated side is on the left, it is waning (getting smaller).
What phase of the moon comes right after the new moon?
The phase of the moon that comes right after the new moon is the waxing crescent. It is when a small sliver of the moon's illuminated side becomes visible from Earth.
When the moon is illuminated on the right side, what is the significance of its position in relation to navigation and timekeeping?
When the moon is illuminated on the right side, it means it is in its waxing phase. This position can be significant for navigation and timekeeping because it indicates that the moon is rising in the east and setting in the west, which can help determine direction and time of day.
What is a waning quarter moon?
A waning quarter moon is when the moon is at the midway point between a full moon and a new moon, with the illuminated portion of the moon gradually decreasing. It appears as a half circle in the sky, with the left side illuminated and the right side dark. It is also known as a third quarter moon.
When does a waning phase occur during a lunar cycle?
The Waning Phase in the lunar cycle occurs as the moon shrinks from the Full Moon to the New (Dark) Moon. Note: You can tell when you are in the Waning Phase when the Left Side of the Moon is illuminated. Conversely, if the Right Side is illuminated, the Moon is Waxing.
