This is a matter of preference and can differ from country/culture to country.
Traditionally (in English speaking countries), et al., the New Moon is exactly one half of the Lunar Cycle. That is to say around 14(+) days.
Normally one talks about the percentage of illumination, waxing (as the light "grows" across the face of the Moon, towards the Full Moon) or waning (as the light recedes in the direction of the New Moon).
It is praxis that the Moon's Cycle is divided into 4 phases of around 7 days each. Ergo: 7 days Waxing, 7 days Waning.
The number of days counted from the New Moon is called "The Moon's Age" and is counted upwards, "as an age".
The Moon and it's orbit is an entire science but I hope I have answered your question.
Look up. Look way up.
It depends where you are on the planet; the time of year; the time of day; and of course no clouds in the way. Moon Light World Map
The full moon varies when it arrives. A blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. The full moon has nothing to do with when you will have your baby.
Nouns that describe the sun include day-star, solar disk, solar orb, eye of heaven, great luminary, light of the day, lamp of the day, source of light and giver of light.
Nouns do not describe; adjectives are the describing words for nouns.
The word moon is a noun, some adjectives that describe the moon are: bright, cool, round,full, half, new, crescent
All automatic-exposure cameras try to render the scene as a middle gray. The moon is a small portion of the total image, so the camera concentrates on the sky. In trying to get enough light to make the sky go from black to gray, the moon gets completely overexposed. What you want is the moon properly exposed, even if that means the sky goes completely black.
For a full moon, you want the same exposure you would use at noon on a bright day. If you think about it for a moment, it becomes obvious. The full moon is simply a landscape at high noon. Unfortunately, the camera can't know that.
Set the camera to manual. Start with the "Sunny-16 Rule", which tells you to set the aperture to f/16 and the shutter speed to 1/ISO. So for example, set the ISO to 200, the aperture to f/16, and the shutter speed to 1/200. Look at the result on the screen and adjust the exposure as needed.
That was for a full moon. For other phases you may need to add exposure, but the "Sunny-16 Rule" will still give you a starting point.
Lunar calendars differ as to which day is the first day of the month.
For some lunar calendars, such as the Chinese calendar, the first day of
a month is the day when an astronomical new moon
appears in a particular time zone. For others, such as some Hindu
calendars, each month begins at full moon. Others were based in the past
on the first sighting of a lunar crescent such as the Hebrew calendar.
The half moon usually means the computer is in SLEEP MODE. Normally, pressing the spacebar will wake the computer up but I have noticed that sometimes, the computer can get "stuck" in sleep mode. If that is the case, you can hold the power button down (until the power turns off and the moon disappears). Wait a few seconds then hit the power button again to turn the laptop back on.
