A waning Moon is one were it appears to be becoming smaller. From a full round full moon, to a last gibbous moon, to last quarter, to last crescent moon, the an New Moon.

The corresponding increasing Moon is named a WAXING Moon.

The VISIBLE portion is always the same. Look at the crescent moon sometime, and you'll see that even the "dark" part of the Moon is dimly visible, shining by reflected Earthshine . "Waning" means that the ILLUMINATED portion is decreasing.

-10 is the smaller number. Any number that is negative (-) is always smaller than a positive (+) number or zero. We could look at it this way: If I have $10, I can go buy something with it. If I have $0, I'm staying home because I have no money to spend. If I have -$10, I actually owe someone money and will have to pay $10 to get back to having $0.
