The moon is in its waning phase when less and less of the side facing the earth is lighted. This phase occurs after the full moon and leads up to the new moon when the side facing the earth is completely dark.
The new Moon "phase" is when the Moon is (more or less) in front of the Sun. We cannot normally see the Moon in this phase. If the Moon is exactly in front of the Sun, the Moon covers the Sun and we see a solar eclipse.
There are no words that start with "Z" in the New Moon novel by Stephenie Meyer.
