This refers to a phase of the moon where more than half the circle is visible, and occurs just before the full moon where the entire orb is visible."Wax" means to grow greater and "wane" means to grow lesser, so the "waxing gibbous" is the 3/4 phase as the moon appears to grow larger, and the "waning gibbous" is the 3/4 phase where the moon appears to grow lessor.The "new moon" follows the waning gibbous and is, once again, a full orb.So the sequence is new moon, waxing crescent, first (waxing) quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last (waning) quarter, waning crescent then back again to the new moon.
The moon phases are as follows: 1: New Moon 2: Waxing Crescent 3: First Quarter 4: Waxing Gibbous 5: Full Moon 6: Waning Gibbous 7: Last Quarter 8: Waning Crescent That is the correct order that the phases of the moon are in.

No, a 'gibbous moon' is part of the regular lunar cycle. The moon takes roughly 30 days to go from a new moon, through all its phases, to become a new moon again. For a little under 3/8th of this time, the moon will be a gibbous moon, which will either be waxing gibbous towards a full moon and waning gibbous away from it.

Because the moon goes through phases that allow you to see certain parts of the moon at a time. Theses phases are the following: 1. The New Moon. 2. Waxing Crescent. 3. First Quarter. 4. Waxing Gibbous. 5. Full Moon. 6. Waning Gibbous. 7. Last quarter. and the 8.Waning Crescent. . You see the phases because as the moon orbits the earth, the sun is shining on various areas of the moon.
A gibbous moon appears as more than half but less than fully illuminated, with the left side more illuminated in the waxing gibbous phase and the right side more illuminated in the waning gibbous phase. It looks like a large, slightly bulging shape in the sky.
Yes. On January 3, 2010 the Moon was in the waning gibbous phase, 3 days past the full.
