The moon has different phases based on which portion of the moon is being lit by the sun. A crescent moons refers to the phase when we see the least lit portion of the moon. However, there are two gibbous': waxing and waning. The portion of the moon we see lit is cyclic, every week or so, we either see the an increase in the portion of the moon we see lit, waxing gibbous, or a decrease in the portion we see lit, waning.
