Moon

[Ju]

May I know the simple names of the different partial eclipse of the moon for a kindergarten kid?

I know full moon and half moon. How about the name of the shape like the letter C?

Thanks.

It's a crescent moon.

You might want to read up on "waxing" and "waning", and "gibbous" too.

We also say new moon.
