-- Take a large sheet of paper. Draw a line of 29 boxes on it. In these boxes, you'll draw the shape
of the moon in each day of its cycle of phases.
-- In Box-#1, print the words "New Moon". That's the day when you can't see the moon at all.
-- In Box-#2, draw a very very skinny crescent, not much more than a thick pencil line. The curve
of the crescent is on the right, and the points at the ends point to the left.
-- In Box-#8, draw half of a moon. The right half is there and the left half is not there.
-- In Box-#15, draw a full moon.
-- In Box-#22, draw half of a moon. The left half is there and the right half is not there.
-- In Box-#28, draw a very very skinny crescent, not much more than a thick pencil line. The curve
of the crescent is on the left, and the points at the ends point to the right.
-- Now, in all the boxes that are still empty, draw a series of drawings that change gradually and
smoothly from the last box that has something in it to the next box that has something in it.
-- When each box has a drawing in it, bend the line of boxes into a big circle, and connect Box-#1 to Box-#29.
If you can't actually form them into a big loop, just remember that as the moon goes around the cycle, after
it reaches #29, it goes directly to #1 again.
=========================================================
Now you have your own moon-phase calculator.
Whenever you see the moon in the sky, find the shape on your calculator that most resembles it.
From that box, you can count days. Each box is one day. If you want to see what the moon's phase
will be in ten days, count ten boxes forward from where you are now, and the phase for that day is the
drawing in the tenth box forward.
What else can I help you with?
If there is a new moon today what phase will you get afte 21 days?
After 21 days from a new moon, you would reach a full moon phase. The lunar cycle takes approximately 29.5 days to complete, so 21 days after a new moon would place you close to a full moon phase.
What moon phase is shown approximately 4 days after the full moon?
The "waning gibbous" phase lasts from 2 days after the full to 6 days after the full.
If you see a waning crescent phase what will you see in about 28 days?
In about 28 days, you would see a new moon phase after observing a waning crescent phase. The new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the side of the moon lit that faces away from Earth.
What is the moon phase that comes 21-22 days after a new moon?
The moon phase that occurs 21-22 days after a new moon is the waning gibbous phase. During this phase, more than half of the moon's surface is illuminated, but it is decreasing in brightness as it approaches the last quarter phase. The waning gibbous follows the full moon, which occurs approximately 14-15 days after the new moon.
How long from one new moon phase to the next new moon phase?
About 29.5 days.

The "waning gibbous" phase lasts from 2 days after the full to 6 days after the full.
What moon do we have today?
To determine the current moon phase, you would need to check a reliable lunar calendar or astronomy website, as the moon phase changes approximately every 29.5 days. As of my last update, I cannot provide real-time data. However, you can easily find the current moon phase by searching online or using a moon phase app.
If you see a waning crescent phase what will you see in about 28 days?
In about 28 days, you would see a new moon phase after observing a waning crescent phase. The new moon occurs when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, with the side of the moon lit that faces away from Earth.
The number of days it takes the moon to pass from a full moon phase to a new moon phase?
1/2 of 29.53 days = 14.77 days (rounded)
If new moon falls on march 2nd what is the moon phase on march 14th?
The moon phase on March 14th, twelve days after the new moon on March 2nd, would be in the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs roughly between the first quarter and full moon, which typically happens around 14 days after the new moon. Therefore, on March 14th, the moon would be more than half illuminated but not yet full.
If the moon is in the new phase tonight what phase will it be one week from now?
One week from now, the moon will likely be in the first quarter phase, where half of the moon is illuminated. The new moon phase is followed by the waxing crescent phase and then the first quarter phase in the lunar cycle.
What is the moon phase that comes 21-22 days after a new moon?
The moon phase that occurs 21-22 days after a new moon is the waning gibbous phase. During this phase, more than half of the moon's surface is illuminated, but it is decreasing in brightness as it approaches the last quarter phase. The waning gibbous follows the full moon, which occurs approximately 14-15 days after the new moon.
What moon phase will he most likely see in 14 days?
In 14 days, he will most likely see a Full Moon. The lunar cycle takes about 29.5 days to complete, so 14 days from a New Moon would typically fall around the Full Moon phase. If he observes the moon during this time, it will appear fully illuminated.
If tonight the phase of the moon is full when it rises what will be the phase 4 days from now?
If tonight the phase of the moon is full when it rises what will be the phase 4 days from now is in the waning gibbous stage.
If New Moon fell on March 2nd what is the Moon's phase on March 14th?
The phase is almost full, but not quite. The period of phases is about 29 days, so it takes 14.5 days for the Moon's phase to change from 'New' to 'Full'. If New Moon took place at some time on March 2, then Full Moon would occur on March 16, at about 12 hours later in that day.
How long from one new moon phase to the next new moon phase?
About 29.5 days.
