If there is a full moon today in New York state will there be a full moon today in California?
Pretty much so, yes.In exact and precise terms, the Moon is "full" at a specific MOMENT each month, when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. (If it were EXACTLY opposite, we would have a lunar eclipse.) But in the 3 hours that it takes for the Earth to spin from "the Moon overhead of New York" to "the Moon overhead from California", the Moon doesn't move along in its orbit by more than a degree or so.So if the Moon is EXACTLY full when it is overhead New York, it will be fractionally past the full by the time the Earth spins enough so that the Moon is straight up from California. But nobody can see the difference between the "Moon at the full" and "the Moon at 3 hours past the full"; the difference is too tiny to be noticed.

Are gibbous moons rare?
No, a 'gibbous moon' is part of the regular lunar cycle. The moon takes roughly 30 days to go from a new moon, through all its phases, to become a new moon again. For a little under 3/8th of this time, the moon will be a gibbous moon, which will either be waxing gibbous towards a full moon and waning gibbous away from it.
What is the difference between waxing gibbous and waxing cressent?
'Waxing' means 'growing bigger as time goes on'. 'Crescent' is the less-than-half-full shape of the moon, during the first week after a New Moon. 'Gibbous' is the more-than-half-full shape, during the second week after a New Moon.

When is the waxing gibbous phase of the moon going to occur next?
They all do, if you just wait long enough. (You never have to wait longer than 29.5 days,because all of the phases repeat with that period.)The phase that immediately follows hard upon the waxing gibous is the Full Moon.
Discuss waxing of the moon phases?
The moon goes through two main phases, waxing and waning. Waxing is when the, from your position on Earth, the moon is systematically getting more visible. Waning is the opposite, when the moon is getting less visible. The moon goes from a new moon,(0% is visible), to a crescent moon (waxing), then to a first quarter (waxing), then a waxing Gibbous, and to a full moon (100% is visible). After a full moon, the moon begins waning to a waning gibbous, then a last quarter, a crescent, and finally a new moon. After this the cycle begins again. These are the visible spectrums of the moon in relation to a point on the Earth.
What period of time elapses between the first quarter and the half moon?
* Dark Moon - Not visible * New Moon - Not visible, or traditionally, the first visible crescent of the Moon * Waxing Crescent Moon - Right 1-49% visible * First Quarter Moon - Right 50% visible * Waxing gibbous Moon - Right 51-99% visible * Full Moon - Fully visible * Waning gibbous Moon - Left 51-99% visible * Third Quarter Moon - Left 50% visible * Waning Crescent Moon - Left 1-49% visible * New Moon - Not visible ref from http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=moon+phases&gwp=13 Rob
What is a gibbous moon?
The phase of the Moon during which more than half, but less than all, of the visible hemisphere of the Moon is illuminated by sunlight. A gibbous moon is between a full moon and a half moon, or between a half moon and a full moon. There can be two gibbous moons: waxing and waning. " A gibbous moon is one of the phases of the Moon when the size of the illuminated portion is greater than half but not a full Moon. The period between a first quarter moon and a full moon is known as a waxing gibbous moon, because the illuminated region of the Moon is increasing from day to day. After it becomes a full moon, but hasn't reached the last quarter, the Moon is called a waning gibbous moon."
What are the phases of the moon and when do they occur?

Is waxing gibbous going bigger or smaller?
