Waxing means that it is growing or getting bigger.\n</p><p>This phase is when the Moon begins to move into a position where the sun starts to illuminate part of the Moon\u2019s surface, so we see a small crescent appearing.\n</p><p>It remains the Waxing Crescent moon until it is around 49% illuminated.\n</p><h3 class='\"list\"'>First Quarter.\n</h3><p>Following the Waxing Crescent comes the First Quarter.\n</p><p>We can see about 50% of the Moon illuminated, so it looks like a semi-circle.\n</p><p>This is also when the Moon has moved a quarter in orbit around the <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/facts-about-earth%5C/%5C%22">Earth.\n<h3 class='\"list\"'>Waxing Gibbous.\n</h3><p>The Waxing Gibbous Moon is the phase when the Moon is at 51%-99% illumination, just after the First Quarter Moon.\n</p><p>This Moon phase starts from appearing to be half-illuminated to almost being fully illuminated.\n</p><h3 class='\"list\"'>Full Moon.\n</h3><p>The Full Moon is when it has reached the opposite side of the Earth in orbit to the Sun.\n</p><p>This means that the Moon\u2019s surface is in direct sunlight and can be illuminated in full for us to admire in the night sky.\n</p><p>The Full Moon remains for the 14<sup>th-15<sup>th day of the cycle and then moves into the next phase.\n<h3 class='\"list\"'>Waning Gibbous.\n</h3><p>The Waning Gibbous Moon is basically the reverse of the Waxing Gibbous Moon.\n</p><p>The Moon appears in the transition from Full Moon, back down to a quarter visible.\n</p><p>This stage is when we see a drop from 99% illuminated back down to 51%.\n</p><h3 class='\"list\"'>Third Quarter.\n</h3><p>The Third Quarter Moon is when the other half of the Moon is illuminated until it reaches 50%.\n</p><p>This is the sign that the moon cycle is coming to an end, and will soon be a New Moon again.\n</p><h3 class='\"list\"'>Waning Crescent.\n</h3><p>The last stage of the Lunar Month ends with the Waning Crescent.\n</p><p>Waning means \u201cgetting smaller,\u201d and this is when we see the Moon\u2019s surface goes down from 49% illumination to 1%.\n</p><p>You will see the Moon go from being a quarter illuminated all way down until it is a small crescent.\n</p><p>Eventually, you will see nothing, and it will be at the end of the cycle.\n</p><h2>What about a Dark Moon?\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-227623

that illuminates the Moon\u2019s surface.\n</p><p>This is referred to as the Dark Moon; although it is a name for the cycle&rsquo;s ending, it is not commonly used in the eight-phase cycle and by astrologers.\n</p><p>This moon occurs on day 29.5, the last day of the cycle before the New Moon appears.\n</p><h2>Why does the Moon change color?\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-227622 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/01%5C/moon-types-red-moon.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"A' rich red looking moon

in the sky, but these are rarer than the moon phases that we see every month.\n</p><p>These only occur in special circumstances and can only be seen from certain parts of the world.\n</p><h3>Blood Moon.\n</h3><p>Now that you have the basics of the Moon&rsquo;s movements, you can understand that other types of Moon occur when another lunar activity is happening.\n</p><p>For example, when a Lunar Eclipse occurs, this is when the Earth sits directly between the Sun and Moon.\n</p><p>This means that the only light that can reach it \u2014 during its Full Moon stage \u2014 &nbsp;is light refracted from Earth.\n</p><p>This causes the Moon to appear glowing red, similar to when we have a sunrise or sunset.\n</p><h3>Blue Moon.\n</h3><p>The most commonly known Moon is the <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/blue-moon-facts%5C/%5C%22">Blue Moon, which I am sure most of you have heard of.\n<p>If not, you might be familiar with the saying \u201cOnce in a Blue Moon,\u201d which means not very common.\n</p><p>This, however, is not always the case for the sighting of an actual Blue Moon.\n</p><p>A Blue Moon mostly appears blue because of the dust affecting the lighting.\n</p><p>So when we look up, we see the Moon with a blue tint.\n</p><p>But this is not always the case, as the term Blue Moon is also used to describe that there are two Full Moons within one month.\n</p><p>It also occurs when there are four Full Moons within a season when there usually are three.\n</p><h2>Is it a Black Moon or Invisible Moon?\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-227621 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2020%5C/01%5C/moon-types-invisible.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"A' barely visible moon width='\"728\"' height='\"400\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/www.factstoryhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/moon-types-invisible.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>There is no exact definition for what exactly a Black Moon is.\n</p><p>This is because it&rsquo;s a newer term created and popularized by followers of the Wiccan Religion and social media.\n</p><p>There are many definitions for what type of moon it represents, but the most common is that of the New Moon.\n</p><p>It&rsquo;s mostly because the Moon is not lit up, and there is just darkness.\n</p><p>This can also be called an Invisible Moon.\n</p><p>Both terms describe the phase as the Moon is technically invisible because it&rsquo;s not lit up in the sky.&nbsp;\n</p><p>Therefore, the term Black Moon can describe the darkness that we see.&nbsp;\n</p><p>The two names have also been used to describe the Moon when we experience a solar eclipse.\n</p><p>A solar eclipse is when the moon lines up directly between the Sun and Earth.\n</p><p>This means that the Moon blocks the Sun from Earth&rsquo;s view, but it leaves a glowing ring around the Moon because the Moon is smaller than the sun.\n</p><p>The Moon can appear black as it is entirely in the shadow.\n</p><h2>Does the Moon change size?\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-227620

changes size.\n</p><p>To us here on planet Earth, our perspective can change as the Moon orbits around us, making it seem like it can change size.\n</p><h3>Micro Moon.\n</h3><p>The first of these is called a Micro Moon.\n</p><p>A Micro Moon is when the Moon is at its furthest point from Earth.\n</p><p>This means that when we look up at the night sky, we think it may have shrunk, but it\u2019s just further away than usual.\n</p><p>This usually only occurs when the Moon is at the Full Moon or New Moon phase.\n</p><p>The Moon orbits the Earth in an elliptical path, which means that one side of the orbital path is closer.\n</p><p>The Micro Moon occurs when the Moon is 251,655 miles (405,000 kilometers) away from Earth&rsquo;s center.\n</p><h3>Super Moon.\n</h3><p>A Super Moon occurs when the moon is at its Full or New Moon phase and is on the closest part of its orbital path to Earth.\n</p><p>The Moon is at its stage in its journey where it is in the closest position to Earth, being 223,694 miles (360,000 kilometers) from the center of Earth.\n</p><p>&nbsp;\n</p><p>So overall, you can see that we have many different types of Moon, which vary in shape and color due to the surroundings and our Moon&rsquo;s position in its orbit around Earth.\n</p><p>But ultimately, we only have ONE Moon that orbits Earth; it\u2019s just our perspective that makes it appear different.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Earth&rsquo;s Moon is crucial for our planet&rsquo;s tides.
