quarter Moon if its half of a sphere then its half moon
It would be hard to find a line of symmetry on a moon, as it is likely to be irregularly shaped.
Third Quarter is when the moon is half and is getting smaller.
The forth quarter of the phases oh the moon
The moon is a sphere.
Yes
first quarter of the moon is second phase of the moon. it means that the shape of the moon is growing to the waxing gibbous.
quarter Moon if its half of a sphere then its half moon
on the 10 the of may in 2011 the moon was a bright red quarter moon.
The semi-circle shape can be the 1st or 3rd quarter. Perhaps you would want to double check, but I believe that if the "flat" side of the shape is facing to the left, that is the 1st quarter; to the right - 3rd quarter.
The moon shape waxes (gets bigger) from New Moon (no moon visible) to a thin waxing crescent, to the First Quarter (about a week later - half lit) to Full Moon ( about week after that) and it wanes (shrinks back) to the Last quarter and then to a waning crescent, to New Moon again. This cycle repeats itself every month or 29.5 days, more specifically.
Whatever phase the moon happens to be in, it looks the same from every place on Earth where there are people looking at it.

Waxing and waning are terms used to describe whether the moon is progressing towards a new (waning) or full (waxing) moon, not a particular shape. ___________________ The shapes are crescent, quarter, and gibbous, for the sliver, the half-moon and the "squashed circle" shape.
Both the 1st Quarter moon and the 3rd (last) Quarter moon can be referred to as the "half moon" since we see half of the sunlit side of the moon.
A crescent moon has 1 line of symmetry
Full moon,New moon,First quarter,Third quarter or Last quarter.
