What can you not see a full moon or a waxing moon or a waning moon?
You can see all three of these. The phase of the moon when it is not visible is called new moon.
After a waxing gibbous moon you will see what moon phase next?
"Waxing" is the term used when the Moon's illuminated part is growing in size, while "waning" means that the lighted part is decreasing. "Gibbous" means more than half, but not full. So "waxing gibbous" is the phase of the Moon between the first quarter and the full moon.
From new moon phase to full moon phase what will you see?
From new moon (I think 'no moon' might have been misspelled or misheard as new moon) we see, Waxing Crescent First Quarter Waxing Gibbous Full Moon. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Paracelcus, as the above has been sent by him only. I have just recommended and written on his message board. By mistake my name has been selected as I have answered first. Actually credits must go to friend Paracelcus.

What is the name of the moons changing shapes?
The apparent changes in the moon's shape are called waxing and waning. The moon is waxing when it goes from a new moon (you can't see it) to a full moon and it is waning as it goes from a full moon to a new moon. What appears to us as a change in shape is caused by the position of the moon with respect to the Earth and the sun. When the Earth is completely between the moon and the sun, no light is able to hit the moon and we see a new moon. When the Earth is partially between the sun and the moon. Lastly, when the Earth is not between the sun and the moon, we see a full moon.
When the moon is waxing the sunlit part of the moon that we can see is getting larger?
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.
What is it called when the sunlit fraction of the moon that we can see from earth is getting larger?
It is the waxing phase of the moon.
What is it called when the sunlit fraction of the moon that we can see from earth gets larger?

How the moon appearances changes during the month?
When the moon is bright, the sunlit part of the moon that we can see is getting larger. When the moon is dark the sunlit part of the moon that we see is getting smaller.
How does the waning crescent differ from waning gibbous?
A gibbous moon (waxing or waning) is when we can see morethan half of the moon's sunlit side when viewed from Earth, a gibbous moon has a sort of lemon shape. A crescent moon (waxing or waning) is when we can see less than half of the moon's sunlit side and it looks like a fingernail when viewed from Earth.
What are facts about the waxing crescent moon?
When the moon is waxing, the sunlit part we can seeis growing. During a waxing crescent, we can see only a small section on the right that is shaped like a crescent. You can remember which is waxing and which is waning because waxing rhymes with relaxing, and the first letter of relaxing is R, which starts the word right, the lit up side.CommentsYou have no permission to add comments.
What does waxing crescent mean?
a waning crescent is a phase of the moon where the visible part of sunlight side of the moon is a crescent that gets smaller every night until new moon (when you can't see anything).

Phase
What you see of the moon depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces the earth?
Yes, exactly. The part of the Moon we see bright is the part that is exposed to direct sunlight.
After the full moon you see less and less of the sunlit side?
After the full moon, we see less and less of the sunlit side.
When the moon grows bigger it is called?
It is called Waxing! _________________________ The Moon is always the same size. What we see increasing is the lighted part of the nearside of the Moon. When it is increasing, we call it "waxing"; when we see it decreasing, the word "waning" is used.
Changes in shape the moon seems to go in?
Those are called the "phases" of the Moon. The Moon can be "full", meaning we can see all of the sunlit hemisphere. It can be "new", meaning we can't see any of it in sunlight. Between those phases are "waxing and waning crescents" and "waxing and waning gibbous", and the "first and third quarter phases". The actual order of the phases is: New, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent.
