Google celebrates March 2025 final Half Moon with a Doodle Game, that challenges the users' knowledge about the lunar cycle


Internet search engine giant Google marks the final half-moon on 19 March 2025 with an interactive Doodle in the game format. The fun card game on the home page of Google that challenges the knowledge of the players on the lunar cycle.


The March half moon is also called the 'worm moon' since after this the insects like flies, mosquitoes, ants, fruit flies, etc., start appearing.


AI Overview on lunar cycle or phases of moon goes as follows.


The moon cycle, also known as lunar phases, consists of eight distinct phases as the moon orbits Earth, completing a cycle in about 29.5 days, and these phases are: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent.


Here's a more detailed explanation of the moon cycle:

  • New Moon: The moon is between the Earth and the Sun, and the side facing Earth is not illuminated, making it appear invisible.

  • Waxing Crescent: The moon is illuminated as a crescent, and the illuminated portion grows (waxes) each night.

  • First Quarter: Half of the moon's face is illuminated, appearing as a half-moon.

  • Waxing Gibbous: More than half of the moon's face is illuminated, and the illuminated portion continues to grow (waxes).

  • Full Moon: The entire side of the moon facing Earth is illuminated, appearing as a full circle.

  • Waning Gibbous:More than half of the moon's face is illuminated, but the illuminated portion shrinks (waning) each night.

  • Last Quarter: Half of the moon's face is illuminated, appearing as a half-moon.

  • Waning Crescent: The moon is illuminated as a crescent, and the illuminated portion shrinks (waning) each night, eventually returning to the New Moon phase.
