A half step is a half step. It is also called a minor third. There is no "major" when it comes to half steps.
If you meant the half steps on white keys on a keyboard, then that would be B-C and E-F.

The semitones (half steps) in a major scale are between the 3rd and 4th and the 7th and 8th notes.
Whole steps and half steps in a sequential order:WWHWWWH
The correct pattern for a major scale is WWh , WWWh .
The correct pattern for a major scale is WWh , WWWh .
Four half steps, or two whole steps.

An augmented triad consists of two major thirds stacked on top of each other. In terms of half steps, the interval from the root to the major third is four half steps, and the interval from the major third to the augmented fifth is another four half steps. Therefore, an augmented triad contains a total of eight half steps from the root to the highest note.
The key difference between a major and minor interval is the number of half steps between the two notes. In a major interval, there are typically two whole steps (or four half steps) between the notes, while in a minor interval, there are typically one and a half steps (or three half steps) between the notes. By counting the number of half steps between the two notes in the interval, one can determine whether it is major or minor.

The major scale made up of five whole steps is the C major scale. In musical terms, it consists of seven notes and includes two half steps, which occur between the third and fourth notes and between the seventh and eighth notes of the scale. Therefore, in total, the C major scale has five whole steps and two half steps.
You can determine whether an interval is major or minor by counting the number of half steps between the two notes. If the interval has a distance of 2, 3, 6, or 7 half steps, it is major. If it has a distance of 1, 4, 5, or 8 half steps, it is minor.
