It is called Waxing! _________________________ The Moon is always the same size. What we see increasing is the lighted part of the nearside of the Moon. When it is increasing, we call it "waxing"; when we see it decreasing, the word "waning" is used.

This is every time you happen to see it near the horizon, but it is only an illusion.Actually, the Moon appears larger when it is at the horizon.

The moon appears much larger than the planets because it is closer.
waxing
This happens during a lunar eclipse when the earth appears apparently blocking out the moon. This can only happen on a full moon and due to this effect, the moon appears to be red.
when the moon is said to be "waxing" it basically means that it's getting bigger. the sun reflects off of more of its surface that is visable to the earth. from the new moon, it slowly becomes a waxing crescent, then waxing gibbous, to eventually a full moon. then begins "waning" or getting smaller until it's back to the new moon again.
