no don't think so, its only full on one night of the month but past and before that its only like 99% or 98% full so its not actually full (you can get an app on igoogle that tells you the day on which its full and its percentage fullness)
Not noticeably. As the Earth spins, the people in China sees a full moon that is about 1/3 of a day later in the cycle, just as people in Europe see a full moon that is about 1/3 of day EARLIER in the cycle, as compared to people in North America.The point is that you as the average person cannot tell the difference between the Moon when it is exactly "full" compared to the "almost full" or the "just past full" Moons that are 8 hours different.
Cybersix - 1999 Full Moon Fascination 1-10 was released on: USA: 8 November 1999
The Apollo 8 astronauts Jim Lovell, Frank Borman and William Anders were the first men to orbit the moon, they were aldso the first men to see the back side or dark side of the moon. As we can only see one side.
it took 4 days to get to the moon 8 days and 14 hours in space and 31 min in space
To change quartersGet it as in the moons phases:1. First QUARTER2. Waxing Crescent3. New Moon (Second QUARTER)4. Waning Crescent5. Third QUARTER6. Waning Gibbous7. Full Moon (Fourth QUARTER)8. Waxing Gibbous
The time period between Full Moon and Third Quarter is usually 7 or 8 days, depending on the actual Full Moon and Third Quarter times.
8 days almost 15 days
A "month". And its 29 days (or 29 and a half).
8/30/10 is four days after the full moon, so it rises (depending on where you are in your time zone) at about 10 PM.
the moon can have up to 8 different shapes so there are different kinds of shapes and you rarely see a full moon
January 8 = new moon phase, days from exact new moon = 5, February 8 = new moon, days from exact new moon = 6. All of the phases of the moon are new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent
No reason why you can't. This year, 2010, the Moon will be a waning crescent 8 days past the full, so trick-or-treaters won't be able to see the Moon; it won't be up yet. The Moon will rise about 1 AM, and trick-or-treaters need to be in bed long before then!
The moon is Waxing Gibbous 99% of Full on Fri 18 Mar, 2011 at 8:15 PM EDST
about 8 days

The complete cycle of all moon phases is 29.53 days (rounded) on the average, with small variations depending on the exact interplay between the non-circular orbits of the earth and moon, which causes relatively small changes in their speeds along their respective paths. But those variations aren't really large enough for the casual observer to notice. For our practical purposes, it's accurate enough to say simply that the time period from any phase until the same thing shows up again is 29.53 days. (rounded)
This is the NEW MOON phase. Sometimes it can pass directly in front of the Sun, whereupon it is a Total/Partial Eclipse. The other phases of the Moon are ;- New Crescent(waxing) ; seen in the evening sky, about 3 or 4 days after the New Moon. First Quarter(waxing) ; seen in the evening/ early night sky, about 7 days after the New Mon. New/First Quarter Gibbous(waxing); seen in the early night sky , about 11 days after the New Moon. Full Moon; seen in the night sky ,14 days days after New Moon. It is full and round and glowing. Full/Old/Last Quarter Gibbous(waning); See in the late night sky, 17 days after the full moon. Old/Last Quarter(waning); seen in the late night/early morning sky, about 21 days after the New Moon. Old/Last Crescent(waning) ; seen in the early morning sky, about 25 days after New Moon. New Moon again. seen in the day time, about 28/29 days after the previous New Moon. NB In good clear atmospheric conditions, when, in the evening, the crescent Moon is visible, you may see the 'ghost' of the full circle of the Moon. It is said of a first crescent Moon ; 'The New Moon , with the Old Moon in here arms'. Conversely in the morning ; ' It is the Old Moon, with the New Moon in here arms'. Hope that helps!!!! 8
