Understanding the lunar cycle

The Moon orbits the Earth approximately every 29.5 days, a period known as a synodic month. During this cycle, the Moon passes through eight distinct phases: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent.

A full moon occurs when the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, so the entire face visible from Earth is illuminated. A new moon occurs when the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, making it virtually invisible in the night sky.

The traditional names for each month's full moon come from Native American, Colonial American, and European folklore, reflecting seasonal changes and natural events associated with each time of year.
