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.
What is the time period from first quarter to waxing gibbous?

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 a complete cycle from new moon to new moon?
A complete cycle from new moon to new moon is called a lunar month, or synodic month, and it lasts about 29.5 days. This cycle represents the time it takes for the Moon to go through all its phases, starting from a new moon, moving through waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and finally back to 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 is a gibbous moon?
A gibbous moon is when the Moon appears more than half but less than fully illuminated. It comes after the first quarter phase and before the full moon phase, when more than 50% but less than 100% of the Moon's surface is visible from Earth.
