Phases of the moon
There are 8 phases of the moon. The 8 phases of the moon are new, waning crescent, 1st quarter, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, last quarter and waxing crescent and the moon has a different shape as seen in a different hemisphere. The moon is the natural satellite of the Earth.
New moon-when you see the new moon you can't see the moon at all.
waning crescent-when you look at the moon in the waning crescent shape it's only 1 quarter of the full moon.
1st quarter-the 1st quarter is a half of the full moon.
waxing gibbous-the waxing gibbous is 3 quarters of the full moon.
full-the full moon is a whole circle and it is the most beautiful phase among all of the phases of the moon.
waning gibbous-the waning gibbous is like the waxing gibbous but for this phase the quarter right of the full moon isn't seen.
last quarter-the last quarter is same as the 1st quarter but for the last quarter half of the right side isn't seen.
waxing crescent-the waning crescent is like the waning crescent is something like the waning crescent but this time the left quarter of the moon is seen.
