Moon phases – the 8 phases of The Moon

In the lunar calendar printables, you’ll find the dates of the New Moon phase, First Quarter Moon phase, Full Moon phase, and Third Quarter Moon phase.

The moon’s other significant phases are Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous, and Waning Crescent.

1. New Moon

The new moon is the first phase of the moon. It begins when the moon is not visible from the earth.

2. Waxing Crescent Moon

The waxing crescent moon is the second phase of the moon. The visible part of the moon gets bigger each day until it becomes a half-moon – the first quarter moon.

The waxing crescent moon comes after the new moon and before the first quarter moon.

Waxing means growing.

Crescent (of the moon) is the curved sickle-shaped illuminated part of the moon. It’s smaller than a semi-circle.

3. First Quarter Moon

The first quarter moon is the third phase of the moon. It takes place when The moon is about one-quarter of its way around the earth.

4. Waxing Gibbous Moon

The waxing gibbous moon is the fourth phase of the moon. It occurs when more than half but less than all of the moon is visible from the earth.

The waxing gibbous moon comes after the first quarter moon and before the full moon.

Gibbous (of the moon) means the illuminated part is bigger than a semi-circle but smaller than a full circle.

Waxing means growing.

5. Full Moon

The full moon takes place when The moon is fully visible from earth.

6. Waning Gibbous Moon

The waning gibbous moon comes after the full moon. The visible part of the moon gets smaller each day until it becomes a half-moon – the third quarter moon.

The waning gibbous moon comes after the full moon and before the third quarter moon.

Waning means shrinking.

Gibbous (of the moon) means the illuminated part is bigger than a semi-circle but smaller than a full circle.

7. Third Quarter Moon

The third-quarter moon occurs when half of the moon is visible from the earth.

8. Waning Crescent Moon

The waning crescent moon comes after the third quarter when the moon becomes smaller each day until it is not visible, making it a new moon again.

The waning crescent moon comes after the third quarter moon and before the new moon.

Crescent (of the moon) is the curved sickle-shaped illuminated part of the moon. It’s smaller than a semi-circle.
