The right half of the moon is illuminated.
The next moon phase after the third quarter moon is the waning crescent moon. It is characterized by a decreasing illuminated portion of the moon visible from Earth.
No. In the third quarter phase, the Moon rises about midnight and is half-illuminated.
Neap tides are the ones that coincide with the Moon's First Quarter and Third Quarter.
Known as "First Quarter". The moon appears half-illuminated. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it is the half you see to your RIGHT. The moon rises in the east at roughly Noon, and sets in the west at roughly Midnight.
During a quarter phase of the Moon, either the first or third quarter, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are positioned at approximately right angles to each other. In the first quarter phase, the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, while in the third quarter phase, the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. This positioning causes half of the Moon's surface to be illuminated and visible from Earth, creating the characteristic half-moon appearance.
It is the "waning crescent" phase.
The phase of the moon that follows the waning gibbous phase is the third quarter phase. During this phase, half of the moon is illuminated, and it appears as a half-moon. The third quarter occurs roughly a week after the full moon and signifies the moon's transition towards the new moon phase.
A half moon refers to both the first quarter and the third quarter moon phase.
The phase of the moon that comes after the third quarter is the waning crescent. It appears as a small sliver of light on the left side of the moon.
The right half of the moon is illuminated.

Third quarter phase
The moon phase you are describing is the waning gibbous phase. This occurs after the full moon and before the third quarter moon when the illuminated portion of the moon is decreasing.
The next moon phase after the third quarter moon is the waning crescent moon. It is characterized by a decreasing illuminated portion of the moon visible from Earth.
No. In the third quarter phase, the Moon rises about midnight and is half-illuminated.
