Full moon
First quarter moon
Gibbous moon
Third quarter moon

Answer 1

The left is seen when the moon is at the third quarter phase

Answer 2

The answer is: Can be first quarter moon or third quarter moon.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first quarter moon and at third quarter moon we can see exactly half of the moon lit up. But, it depends on the place in the planet where you are, which side of the moon you see lit up in which stage of the moon. In the north, the left part of the moon is lit up in third quarter, while in the south is the righ part. An the same for the first quarter, where de right half of the moon is lit up for the north and for the south it is the left. So, the real answer is: For the north part of the world, it will be at third quarter, and for the south part, it will be at first quarter.
