The opposite word of full moon is new moon. A new moon occurs when the moon is not visible from Earth, as it is located between the Earth and the Sun with its illuminated side facing away from us.
The color of the new moon is very dark since it is the opposite of a full moon.
The moon phases from a new moon to a full moon is known as waxing. The moon phases from full moon to the next new moon is waning.
The "new moon" by definition is the moon phase where it is completely in the earth's shadow, and we cannot see it at all. New moon is the exact opposite of "full moon".
The term "new moon" refers to the phase of the moon opposite a full moon. It is when the sun is on the opposite side of the moon from us and thus the bright side of the moon is not visible from earth. This is the darkest kind of night. New Moon is the darkest period of Bella's life.
The far side of the moon is always opposite of the visible side. When the moon is new, it is between the Sun and the earth. Since we see the dark side of the moon, the opposite side must be fully lit by the sun. Likewise when we see a gibbous moon, the far side would be a crescent. When we see a full moon, the far side is in complete darkness.
waxing means it is getting bigger, which i assume is what you mean. the opposite is waning
The pair of moon phases that are opposite to each other are the Full Moon and the New Moon. During the Full Moon, the entire face of the moon is illuminated and visible from Earth, while in the New Moon phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it essentially invisible. These phases represent the extremes of the lunar cycle.
