Moon Phase
The Moon Phase is based on the date manually set on the weather station. The moon is divided by 6
sections, showing a total of 12 phases of the moon.
Waxing indicates growing or expanding illumination and happens after a new moon.
Waning indicates decreasing illumination and occurs after a full moon.
Crescent refers to the moon being less than half illuminated. Crescents can be waning or waxing.
Gibbous describes a moon phase when more than half is illuminated. Gibbous can be waxing or
waning.
New Moon occurs when the moon is between the earth and sun, so the illuminated portion of the
moon is on the back side facing the sun and we cannot see it. After a new moon, the illuminated
portion will increase or wax until the full moon occurs.
Full Moon occurs when the earth, moon and sun are in approximate alignment, with the moon and
the sun on opposite sides of the earth. The illuminated portion of the moon faces the earth, giving us
complete visibility of one side of the entire moon. After a full moon, the illuminated portion will
decrease or wane until the new moon occurs.
First Quarter and Last Quarter moons occur when the moon is at a 90 degree angle to the earth
and sun. We see half of the moon illuminated and the other half is in shadow.
