3. First quarter â The first quarter phase occurs when the Moon is at a 90-degree angle with respect to both the Earth and the Sun. This leads to a perception of 50 per cent illumination of the Moonâs sunlit side from Earth.
This moon appears half-lit to us, and half moon is a beloved name (although not an official one). Still, itâs good to recall that the illuminated portion of a first quarter moon truly is just a quarter. On the night of first quarter moon, we see half the moonâs day side, or a true quarter of the moon. Another lighted quarter of the moon shines just as brightly in the direction opposite Earth! A first quarter moon rises at noon and is high overhead at sunset. It sets around midnight. First quarter moon comes a week after new moon. Now, as seen from above, the moon in its orbit around Earth is at right angles to a line between the Earth and sun. As the moon orbits Earth, it changes phase in an orderly way.
