Moon Phases: the changing appearances of the B Moon as seen from Earth.
A new moon occurs when the Moon is between Earth and the Sun.
After a new moon, the moon’s phases are said to be waxing—the lighted portion that we see appears larger each night.
The moon is in the waxing gibbous phase from the first quarter up until full moon.
The waning crescent occurs before another new moon.
The word month is derived from the same root word as Moon.
