The Moon

 The revolution of the Moon around the Earth results in moon phases (changing appearances of the moon as seen from Earth).

 The Moon passes through four major shapes during a lunar cycle that repeats itself every 29.5 days.  The phases always follow one another in the same order: New moon First quarter Third quarter Full moon

PHASES OF THE MOON The phase you see depends on the relative positions of the moon, Earth, and the sun.

Waxing & Waning Gibbous & Crescent An easy way to remember and understand those "between" lunar phase names is by breaking out and defining 4 words: crescent, gibbous, waxing, and waning. You can simply combine the two words to create the phase name.

What is a crescent moon? Less than half of the lighted side of the moon is visible. Waxing CrescentWaning Crescent

What is a gibbous moon? Waxing GibbousWaning Gibbous More than half of the lighted side of the moon is visible.

Waxing vs. Waning Waxing essentially means "growing" or expanding in illumination. Waning means "shrinking" or decreasing in illumination.
