The waning gibbous moon is waning. not waxing, full, or new. It is just past full and illuminated generally from the left. This phase of the Moon is seen to rise a little while after sunset, a few days or so after Full Moon the waning gibbous Moon appears nearly full and might be mistaken for a full Moon. The Moon in this phase sets just shortly after sunrise and is generally seen by casual observers early in the morning. Gibbous moon is waning. Not waxing, full, or new.

A waxing gibbous moon is fifty-one percent to ninety-nine percent visible. Also, a waning gibbous moon is fifty-one percent to ninety-nine percent visible. Thus, the brightness depends on other environmental factors. The waxing gibbous moon appears early in the night. The waning gibbous moon appears later in the night, and will appear brighter, but whether or not it is, depends many other factors.

Depends which phase you define as the starting point.

As the language seems to imply, and as so many lunar calendars do,
let's say the New Moon is the beginning of the cycle.

After New Moon, in order, come:

Rising before sunset:
. . . Waxing crescent
. . . First quarter
. . . Waxing gibbous

Rising at sunset:
. . . Full Moon

Rising after sunset:
. . . Waning gibbous
. . . Last quarter
. . . Waning crescent

New Moon

Can you see other planets phases?

The easiest phases to see are those of Venus when it comes close to Earth as it overtakes us in its orbit. At that time it is very bright and the crescent phase can be seen in a small telescope.
