Waning Gibbous - moving from Full Moon to Last Quarter
Waning Crescent - moving from Last Quarter to New Moon
Waxing
"Waxing" means increasing in size, as the New Moon is moving toward a Full Moon.

Waxing is when the moons illumination gets bigger. Waning is when the moons illumination gets smaller. As the moon orbits the earth, what you see from earth, is the moon reflecting sunlight. This changes from day to day. Starting with a thin sliver, it gets larger (Waxes) until it is a full moon. Then it gets smaller (wanes) until it goes to a sliver again and then not visible (new moon). This cycle repeats over 28 days.
the circle that divides the day from night is called circle of illumination

The apparent size of the moon's illuminated portion is constantly shrinking during the two weeks after Full Moon, leading up to New Moon ... not only daily, but continuously, even hour by hour. This portion of the moon's cycle is called the "waning phases".
