Is the moon waxing or wanning during New moon 1st quarter full moon and third quarter?
The Moon is not visible at the new moon phase. At the first quarter, it is "waxing" - the illuminated portion is increasing. At the full, the illuminated portion of the Moon is 100%, and it is finished waxing and is about to begin "waning", when the illuminated part is decreasing. At the 3rd quarter, it is waning.
