Description:The moon is a sphere that travels once around Earth every A few days later, as the moon moves around Earth, the side we can see gradually becomes more illuminated by direct sunlight. Next, the moon moves into the waning crescent phase as less than half of its face appears to be getting sunlight, and the amount is decreasing. Days later, the moon has moved another quarter of the way around Earth, to the third quarter position. At new moon, the moon is between Earth and the sun, so that the side of the moon facing toward us receives no direct sunlight, and is lit only by dim sunlight reflected from Earth. In fact, the moon will often look roughly the same on two consecutive nights surrounding the full moon. December Bitter Moon Full moon names often correspond to seasonal markers, so a Harvest Moon occurs at the end of the growing season, in September or October, and the Cold Moon occurs in frosty December.
