Answer:

new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent!

Step-by-step explanation:

new moon: we cannot see the moon in this phase

waxing crescent: the north hemisphere sees this phase as a thin crescent of light on the right side of the moon

first quarter: half of the moon is seen

waxing gibbous: this is on the way to a full moon

full moon: all light is seen now

waning gibbous: the light is slowly leaving the moon but still very illuminated

third quarter: half of the moon is bright but the opposite side of the first quarter

waning crescent: thin piece of light on the left side of the moon


I hope this helped!!!
