A waxing crescent moon appears as a thin, illuminated sliver on the right side, growing larger each night as it moves towards a full moon. In contrast, a waxing gibbous moon is more than half illuminated but not yet full, showcasing a larger portion of light on the right side as it approaches fullness. Both phases are part of the moon's cycle, with "waxing" indicating that the illuminated portion is increasing.
