Brief Explanation of the
Moon Phases
The phases of the moon are caused by the relative positions of the
earth, sun, and moon. The moon goes around the earth, on average, in 27
days 7 hours 43 minutes.
The sun always illuminates the half of the moon facing the sun (except
during lunar eclipses, when the moon passes thru the earth's shadow).
When the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the earth, the moon
appears "full" to us, a bright, round disk. When the moon is between
the earth and the sun, it appears dark, a "new" moon. In between, the
moon's illuminated surface appears to grow (wax) to full, then
decreases (wanes) to the next new moon.
The edge of the shadow (the terminator) is always curved, being an
oblique view of a circle, giving the moon its familiar crescent shape.
Because the "horns" of the moon at the ends of the crescent are always
facing away from the setting or rising sun, they always point upward in
the sky. It is fun to watch for paintings and pictures which show an
"impossible moon" with the horns pointed downwards.
