What happens when the moon is waxing?

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.

What happens betweenone full moon and the next full moon?

Well, typically, waning occurs AFTER full moon, and then becomes new moon ( waning is decreasing) and then after the new moon comes the waxing ( increasing), and then the full moon again. :) I think of it as waxing a car, kind of like the old karate Karate Kid movies, waxing ON means you are adding more "wax" in this case, more of the moon is visible.
