When the moon looks like a crescent, it is either a waxing crescent or waning crescent moon.
When the moon looks like a half moon, it is in its first or third quarter phase. This happens when the moon is at a 90-degree angle to the sun as seen from Earth, with half of the side facing the sun illuminated and the other half in shadow.
The moon that appears as a disc is known as a full moon. It occurs when the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun.
Being one of the lunar phases, the waxing crescent moon looks like a slim crescent positioned on the right side. As the visible part of the moon grows, it is said to be "waxing."
Gibbous refers to the way the moon looks when it is between half-full and full (or between full and half-full, when it is waning). When it is waxing, it looks a bit like the letter D with the back bulging outward: the entire right side is lit, and the left side is partially lit.

Thw moon doesn't change shape. It is an optical illusion caused by the moon's orbit around us and the way sunlight hits it. Since we can't see the "dark side" of the moon or the "far side" of the moon when it is full, it looks like the moon is changing shape.
