five paragraph essay A New moon is found when it is faced between the sun and earth. For the Full moon it is on the other side of the earth so it would be facing us. The first and third quarter are a half moon this happens when the moon is 90 degrees by the sun and earth. When the sunlight is increasing the moon is one fourth of a guarter and this would be called waxing cresent. When the sunlight is still increasing it will make the moon be waxing gibbious. When the sunlight decreases the moon changes from waxing gibbious waning gibbious. So basically the sun and earth is creating the moon phases.
