They all do, if you just wait long enough. (You never have to wait longer than 29.5 days,

because all of the phases repeat with that period.)

The phase that immediately follows hard upon the waxing gibous is the Full Moon.

What phase of moon can be seen between a first-quarter moon and a full moon?

Waxing gibbous


What moon phase occurs 3-4 day after a waning gibbous?

After the first quarter, the sunlit portion is still increasing, but now it is more than half, so it is waxing gibbous. After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next.


How many moon phases occur in a week?

Approximately two to three.... and they depend on the theoretical "starting point" phase. It takes about two weeks for the moon to go from "new" to "full". So, in one week the moon could go from "first quarter" to "waxing gibbous" to "full"


During the waxing gibbous phase is the amount of illumination increasing or decreasing?

When the visible bright part of the Moon is increasing in size, the term "waxing" is used. When the visible part of the Moon is less and less illuminated each night, the term "waning" applies.


What period of time elapses between the first quarter and the half moon?

* Dark Moon - Not visible * New Moon - Not visible, or traditionally, the first visible crescent of the Moon * Waxing Crescent Moon - Right 1-49% visible * First Quarter Moon - Right 50% visible * Waxing gibbous Moon - Right 51-99% visible * Full Moon - Fully visible * Waning gibbous Moon - Left 51-99% visible * Third Quarter Moon - Left 50% visible * Waning Crescent Moon - Left 1-49% visible * New Moon - Not visible ref from http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=moon+phases&gwp=13 Rob
