New Moon. When we are in the “New” Moon phase, the Moon is not visible from our perspective because it is positioned between the Sun and Earth. The portion of the Moon that is actually getting sunlight is the back side of the Moon, the half that we cannot see. It’s called the ...
The full moon occurs when the Earth is in between the moon and the sun. What is considered a full moon? A full moon is a phase of the lunar cycle. A full moon only occurs when the moon is in a position that is aligned with the sun, with the Earth in between the two. How does...

The Moon produces no light of its own: it shines because it reflects sunlight. The amount of the lit half that can be seen from the Earth changes from day to day. These regular changes are known as phases of the Moon. The interval between one new Moon and the next is 29 days, 12 ...
The accompanying diagram shows how the illuminated portion of the Moon changes shape as our satellite orbits around us. The phase is controlled by the Moon's position relative to Earth and the Sun. The inner circle shows the Moon in its orbit about Earth, with the lit portion always facing...
dark, then waxing larger until the Moon is full, then waning—showing less—until it's dark again. These changes are called phases. They are regular and predictable, determined by how much light illuminates the Moon, which depends on where the Moon is in relation to the Earth and Sun. ...
