What are all the phases of the moon?
New Moon or New Moon
One of the most well-known phases of the moon. During this stage, the moon looks very dark and it is difficult to see it because its entire surface that can be seen from the planet is in shadow.

Crescent quarter
In this phase only half of the moon is illuminated. The right side in the Northern Hemisphere and the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Another piece of information about this phase is that it can be observed from noon to midnight and during sunset it is seen in the highest part of the sky.
Crescent gibbous moon
One of the lesser known phases of the moon . It is also called the crescent gibbous and occurs when the illuminated part is greater than half. In the Northern Hemisphere you see a curve on the left side and in the Southern Hemisphere, the curve is on the right.
Full moon or full moon
The full moon appears when the lunar disk is fully illuminated on the face seen from Earth. At this stage, the Sun and the Moon are aligned almost straight with the Earth.
Waning gibbous moon
During this moon phase , the surface begins to diminish and therefore a curve is observed on the right side if viewed from the Southern Hemisphere, and on the left side if viewed from the Northern Hemisphere.
Last quarter
It is the opposite phase of the first quarter . Only half of the moon is illuminated; the left side from the Northern Hemisphere and the right from the Southern Hemisphere. It rises at midnight and gets higher at dawn.
