After a waxing gibbous moon you will see what moon phase next?
"Waxing" is the term used when the Moon's illuminated part is growing in size, while "waning" means that the lighted part is decreasing. "Gibbous" means more than half, but not full. So "waxing gibbous" is the phase of the Moon between the first quarter and the full moon.
Why is the gibbous moon phase so prominet?
A gibbous Moon is more than half full, so while it isn't full, it can be very bright. It is also visible for a lot of the night.
How much more do you weigh on the moon in ounces?

What will the moon phase be tomorrow?
The four major moon phases, which are about a week apart, arenew moon,first quarter,full moon, andlast quarter.As the amount of sunlight we see on the moon increases from new moon to full moon, the moon is said to be waxing. As that amount decreases from full moon to new moon, the moon is said to be waning. Also, when less than half of the visible side of the moon is lit, it is called a crescent, and when more than half is lit, it is called gibbous. Inserting into the list of moon phases the descriptions of the moon between phases gives us the following list:new moonwaxing crescentfirst quarterwaxing gibbousfull moonwaning gibbouslast quarterwaning crescent(new moon)

half way. this is because the closer you are to Earth, the more gravity you have weighing down on you so you weigh more. The moon has less gravity than the Earth so you would weigh less. However, your mass always stays the same.
What is a gibbous moon?
The phase of the Moon during which more than half, but less than all, of the visible hemisphere of the Moon is illuminated by sunlight. A gibbous moon is between a full moon and a half moon, or between a half moon and a full moon. There can be two gibbous moons: waxing and waning. " A gibbous moon is one of the phases of the Moon when the size of the illuminated portion is greater than half but not a full Moon. The period between a first quarter moon and a full moon is known as a waxing gibbous moon, because the illuminated region of the Moon is increasing from day to day. After it becomes a full moon, but hasn't reached the last quarter, the Moon is called a waning gibbous moon."
