Answer:
The moon is in third quarter when the earth, the moon and the sun makes an angle of 90° degree.
Explanation:
- The Third Quarter, also known as the Half Moon, is the seventh phase of the moon's cycle. Once a month, at 12 AM and 12 PM, respectively, this Moon phase rises and sets, transitioning nearly instantly into a Waning Crescent.
- The Moon has now orbited the Earth a full 3/4 of the way, which is why this phase is known as the Third Quarter. Due to the fact that only half of the Moon is visible during this phase, it is often referred to as a "half moon."
- The Third Quarter phase has the least impact on ocean tides since the Earth, Moon, and Sun are not aligned in a straight line and are at right angle and the Moon and Sun pull in different directions.
Thus this is the answer.
