What appears to happen to the moon as it goes through the cylcle?
A new moon is building towards becoming a full moon, and is said to be waxing (the light on the right side getting bigger). A full moon is receding towards being a new moon again, and is said to be waning (the area of light on the left side getting smaller). There are various named stages during which ever cycle the moon happens to be in.
What is the shrinking moon phase?
When viewed from the Earth, if the light side of the Moon appears on the left-hand side, it is classed as "Waning" (getting smaller from a full-moon), whilst if the light is on the right-hand side, it is classed as "Waxing" (getting bigger towards a full-moon). If the Sun leads the Moon in their respective orbits across the sky, the light will be on the right-hand side. If the Moon leads the Sun, the light will be on the left-hand side. Whilst the Moon is associated with night and darkness, the Moon can often be seen during daylight (though difficult to see clearly in a bright daytime sky).

How do moon produce their own light?
the light from the moon is a reflection of the light from the sun
