A gibbous moon refers to the phase of the Moon when it is more than half illuminated but not yet full. This phase occurs between the first quarter and full moon stages, as well as between the full moon and last quarter. The term "gibbous" comes from the Latin word "gibbosus," meaning humped or curved, reflecting the Moon's appearance during this phase. There are two types of gibbous moons: waxing gibbous (growing towards full) and waning gibbous (shrinking after full).
Two weeks after the waning gibbous phase of the moon you will see a new moon.
Waxing gibbous.
When you can see more than one phase of the moon at the same time, it's likely a waxing gibbous or waning gibbous phase. This occurs when the moon is more than half illuminated but not fully full or new.
It is a point in the waxing gibbous phase and can also a point in the waning gibbous phase, but not in the first quarter.
Full Moon -> Waxing gibbous phase -> First quarter phase -> Waxing crescent phase -> New moon -> Waning crescent phase -> Last quarter phase -> Wanning gibbous phase -> Full Moon

The moons phase tonight is full
In a gibbous moon phase, most of the moon that we see is lit.
The antonym for gibbous is "crescent." Gibbous refers to the phase of the moon when it is more than half but less than full, while crescent refers to the phase when it is less than half illuminated.
Gibbous phase is from full to half.
That's a misspelling; gibbous is a phase of the moon (more than half but not full), and Gibbons are a species of ape.
