What is a way of describing how the moon looks during the quarter phase?

True. The moon does not produce its own light. It reflects sunlight that falls upon it from the Sun.

Answer 4

A way of describing how the moon looks during the quarter phase is that it appears as a half-circle or semi-circle shape.

Answer 5

During the quarter phase, the moon appears as a half-circle or semi-circle shape, where only 50% of its surface is illuminated by sunlight. The other 50% remains in shadow, creating a distinct division between the lit and dark areas. This phase is often referred to as the "first quarter" or "third quarter" depending on its position in the lunar cycle.
