#LUNAR PHASE FULL#

At this time, the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, meaning that they are closest together in the sky, on the same side of Earth (Sunв†’Moonв†’Earth). This phase is named as such because it starts a new lunar cycle. (Depending on where you live, you may or may not be able to see the exact moment of a phase, in part because the Moon may not have risen yet in your area.) The secondary phases, however, represent a span of time rather than a specific moment. The primary phases occur at a specific moment, no matter where you are on Earth, which is then converted to local time.

There are also four secondary phases: Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous, and Waning Crescent.

#LUNAR PHASE FULL#

(See вЂњWhatвЂ™s the MoonвЂ™s Age?вЂќ below for more information.)ДЄstronomers have broken down this cycle into four primary Moon phases: New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter.

The length of the cycle can vary slightly, but on average, it is 29.53059 days. We see the MoonвЂ™s disk change from all dark to all light to all dark again: This span of time is called a lunar cycle, lunation, lunar month, or synodic month. (The Moon itself produces no light of its own.) As a result, the amount of sunlight that reflects off the Moon and travels to our eyes changes every day.
