The moon has an interesting feature of its orbit that is referred to as being 'in step' with the orbit of Earth. This means that it rotates in the same amount of time that it takes to revolve around the Earth so that the same side is always facing the Earth. This leads to the side that always faces away from us being called the 'dark side' even though it actually receives just as much light as the side that always faces us, that is about half the time. When the moon is full, the half that is lit up coincides with the half that faces us. When it's a new moon, the half that is lit up is entirely on the so-called 'dark' side. To answer your question directly, during first and third quarters, you still don't see any of the dark side of the moon, but half of the face that you can see is lit up, as is half of the dark side, while the other half that you can see is in dark, just like the other half of the dark side. Hope this explains things
Im sorry if your having trouble with figuring out the next neap tide. I have no idea and answers.com is stupid because people all over the world can type whatever they want :):):):):):)::):):):::)):):)
Two and three quarters times two is equal to six and a half. This can be calculated by first multiplying 2 by 2 to get 4, then multiplying 2 by 3 quarters (or 0.75) to get 1.5, and finally adding these two results together.
Low tides typically occur during the first and third quarters of the moon phase cycle, when the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are at right angles to each other. This results in less pronounced tidal effects. Additionally, low tides can also occur during the new moon and full moon phases, but they are usually more pronounced during the quarter phases.

The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon is called the Gibbous Moon, specifically the Waxing Gibbous phase. During this phase, more than half of the Moon's surface is illuminated, and it is approaching full illumination. The Waxing Gibbous phase occurs between the First Quarter and the Full Moon.
50%
During the first and third quarters of the moon, you will see roughly 50% of the dark side and 50% of the lit side from Earth. This is because the sun is illuminating half of the moon's surface that is facing away from Earth.
First and third quarters
Apparently not, because to, qualify you had to work and earn wages during the first 4 quarters of the previous 5 completed quarters.
There were and have always been four quarters.

There are 4 quarters in basketball. So the first and second quarters are the first half and the third and fourth is the second half.

You think the rarest would be when they made some of the first US quarters in our history.
There are 4 quarters in 1 dollar. To calculate the number of quarters in 1 and 3/4, you first convert 1 dollar to quarters (4 quarters), then add the additional 3 quarters for a total of 7 quarters in 1 and 3/4 dollars.
Yes. That was the first year the U.S. minted quarters out of copper instead of silver.
They were made from the very first quarters till 1964 being the last year.
