What happens to the shape of the moon from new moon day to full moon day and vice-versa?
The moon shape waxes (gets bigger) from New Moon (no moon visible) to a thin waxing crescent, to the First Quarter (about a week later - half lit) to Full Moon ( about week after that) and it wanes (shrinks back) to the Last quarter and then to a waning crescent, to New Moon again. This cycle repeats itself every month or 29.5 days, more specifically.
What phase of the moon is full moon?
The Moon is full when the entire face of the Moon, as seen from Earth, is lit up.That occurs half way through the cycle from new moon to new moon.The phases of the moon go: waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous. third quarter, waning crescent and it starts all over.

How often does the moon go through an entire set phases?
Every month. One month, give or take is when the moon goes through its full cycle. From new moon to [waxing crescent] to first quarter (week one) then to [waxing gibbous] to full moon (week two) then to [waning gibbous] to third quarter (week three) to [waning crescent] and finally by the end of the fourth week, new moon again.
How long does it take to go through the phases of the moon cycle?
The complete cycle of the moon's phases, from one new moon to the next, takes about 29.5 days. This cycle includes the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent phases.
What is before a full moon?
Nothing is in front of it. Rather, part of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun, and part of it is dark. It is actually possible to see the dark side, especially near new moon - in this case, the dark side receives some light from the Earth - but much less than the bright side of the Moon.
What moon phases occurs before a new moon?
If you go back far enough, all of them do.The phase immediately before a New Moon is the waning crescent.
Why are there two Crescents Half and Gibbous phases?
A moon goes from new to full and back. During this process it starts with just a crescent, goes to the point of being half full, goes through the waxing gibbous phase, reaches full and then starts to get smaller, going through waning gibbous, half full and back down towards a crescent and then there is a new moon. The phases start on one side and go through to the other side. So the first crescent is on the right side, in early evening, just after sunset and the final crescent is on the left side, just before sunrise.

What is a complete cycle from new moon to new moon?
A complete cycle from new moon to new moon is called a lunar month, or synodic month, and it lasts about 29.5 days. This cycle represents the time it takes for the Moon to go through all its phases, starting from a new moon, moving through waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and finally back to a new moon.
What causes the moon to wax and wane that is going from a crescent to full moon and back to a crescent?
Lunar phases are the result of looking at the illuminated half of the Moon from different viewing geometries; they are not caused by shadows of the Earth on the Moon that occur during a lunar eclipse. The Moon exhibits different phases as the relative geometry of the Sun, Earth and Moon change, appearing as a full moon when the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, and as a new moon (also named dark moon, as it is not visible at night) when they are on the same side. The phases of full moon and new moon are examples of syzygies, which occur when the Earth, Moon and Sun lie (approximately) in a straight line.
