When the moon appears to grow smaller, we say it "wanes". Conversely, when it gets bigger, we say it "waxes".
Waxing. After the new moon, as the Moon grows larger in the sky, it's called the Waxing Crescent until you can see the first quarter of the moon. From 50% visibility to 100%, it's in the waxing gibbous stage.
When the moon grows fuller it is waxing. When it grows smaller it is waning. The moon follows this pattern: 1st quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, 3rd quarter, waning crescent, new moon, waxing crescent, and back to 1st quarter.
If the light is on the right side of the moon, and getting larger, it is said to be waxing.
If on the left side of the moon, and getting smaller, it is waning.
So, waxing is towards a full moon, while waning is towards a new moon.
The moon doesn't get bigger ever. It just appears that way from earth but not in real life.
Waxing. Going smaller is waning.

Moon illusion is when the moon seems bigger when it is rising. So really the moon is not bigger it is in the mind.
Some scientists believe that the moon was once a chunk of the earth that broke off long ago and became our moon, and if that's true, it isn't possible that the moon would be bigger than the earth.

yes because of the atmosphere
Uh, the moon? How could you not know this?

The Moon neither gets bigger nor smaller. The angular size won't change much, either; if it looks bigger to you, that is a psychological effect. It is common to perceive the Moon as bigger, when it is close to the horizon.
A waxing moon has the light on the right, and is heading towards a full moon (getting bigger).A waning moon has the light on the left and is getting smaller.
waxing means it is getting bigger, which i assume is what you mean. the opposite is waning
waxing
'Waning' means getting smaller. But the moon is not getting smaller during that half of its cycle. What's waning is the amount of the moon's illuminated half that we're able to see.
As it orbits earth it occasionally gets closer than other times or it's the moon phases
It means the moon is getting bigger, or more precisely, more of the sunlight is reaching the near surface of the moon.
