It is difficult to tell exactly when the Moon is full just by looking; a Moon that's a day or two before the full moon is almost as bright as the full moon itself, and it remains quite bright for a day or two after.

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.


A full moon occurs every 30 days. I the last full moon occurred on a Friday how many days will pass before a full moon occurs again on a Friday?

If the last full moon occurred on a Friday and full moons happen every 30 days, the next full moon will be 30 days later. Since 30 days is equivalent to 4 weeks and 2 days, the next full moon will fall on a Sunday. Therefore, to find the next full moon on a Friday, you would need to wait for the next full moon cycle, which would be 30 days later, bringing it back to a Friday after a total of 59 days.


How many days does the moon take to change from new moon to full moon?

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)


What will be the moon phase on June 4 2020?

On June 4, 2020, the moon phase was a Waning Gibbous. This phase occurs after the Full Moon as the moon begins to decrease in illumination. During this time, more than half of the moon's surface is still visible from Earth.


How long does it take the moon to go from full-moon to new-moon phases?

The full lunar cycle is roughly 4 weeks, and from full-moon to new-moon is half the cycle, so it would take (roughly) 2 weeks to go from full to new moon.

Last full moon occurrs on a friday how many days has to pass to occurrs on next friday?

If the last full moon occurs on a Friday, the next full moon will typically occur about 29.5 days later. Therefore, to find the next Friday after the last full moon, you would count the days. Since a week has 7 days, it would take approximately 4 weeks (28 days) plus 1.5 days, resulting in the next full moon falling on a Saturday. Thus, the next Friday after the last full moon would be in 28 days.

Does it take 29.5 days for it to take the new moon to full moon?

No - it takes about 2 weeks to go from a new moon to a full moon - then 2 more weeks to go from a full moon, to a new moon again. 4 weeks total - that's why it's called a "month" - it comes from the word "moon" ---- The periodic variations in the geometry of the Earth-Moon-Sun system are responsible for the phases of the moon, which repeat every 29.5 days, thus from new to full moon takes half this time


How long does it take to go from new moon to waning crescent?

The first quarter moon occurs after 1/4 of the complete cycle of phases has passed.So the time remaining until the next new moon is 3/4 of the cycle.The full cycle of phases repeats with a period of 29.53 days.3/4 of it = 22.15 days . . . pretty close to 3 weeks plus a day
