A waxing moon is one that moves from a new moon (totally dark) to a full moon (totally lit by the sun). A waning moon goes from full to new.

"waxing"
Nothing in particular 'happens', except that the moon's appearance changes as time goes on. That part of the lunar cycle is called the 'waxing' phases, and comprises roughly the first two weeks after every New Moon.
Getting larger is WAXING. Getting smaller is WANING..
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.
Waxing crescent.
The First Quarter moon comes after the Waxing Crescent 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.
I just went to the salon for waxing. when the Moon goes from crescent to full moon it is called waxing
The moon is waxing from the new moon to the full moon and waning from the full moon to the new moon. Remember this: when the right is bright it's waxing and when the left is bright it is waning
