Yes, the first and third quarter phases of the moon can be observed during daylight hours. These phases occur when the moon is at a 90-degree angle with respect to the sun as seen from Earth, so they are typically visible for a large part of the day.
During the first and third quarter phases of the moon, known as the neap tides, the gravitational pull of the sun and moon work against each other, producing the least variation in tides on Earth. This results in lower high tides and higher low tides during these phases.
During dusk, the waxing crescent, first quarter, and waxing gibbous phases of the moon would be visible in the sky. These phases all occur during the first half of the lunar cycle when the moon is transitioning from new moon to full moon.
Mercury has three main phases: "new," "first quarter," and "full." During a "new" phase, Mercury is between the Earth and Sun, so it appears dark. During the "first quarter" phase, we see half of Mercury illuminated. And during the "full" phase, the entire side facing Earth is illuminated.
The phases of the moon during a solar eclipse are typically the new moon phase when the moon is between the Earth and the sun, causing a solar eclipse to occur.
In mixtures of salt and water, typically two phases are observed: a solid phase of salt crystals and a liquid phase of water.
