First of all, the moon takes 29.5 days to travel around earth.
The four major stages the moon reaches as it travels around
earth are called New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Last Quarter.
New Moon
When the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are in almost straight line is call New moon.
The sun can not reflect off the moon, and thus the Moon is very dark and sometimes
difficult to spot.
First Quarter Moon
A week after New Moon, the moon will have travelled a quarter of its path around
earth. At First Quarter, the right half side of the moon will light, and the left half
will be dark.
Full Moon
Two weeks after New Moon, the moon will have travel half of its path around earth,
and the entire face of the moon is lit up by the sun for us to see.
Last Quarter Moon
Three weeks after New Moon, the moon will have travelled three quarter of its path around
earth. At Last Quarter, the left half side of the moon will light, and the right half
will be dark.
