It means that the part of the moon illuminated by the sun, that we can see here on earth, is getting smaller. Half the time the moon is waxing and half the time it is waning. A full cycle takes about 28 earth days, the time it takes the moon to orbit the earth once.
it depends on the size of the meteor, usually the moon is bigger

The Moon neither gets bigger nor smaller. The angular size won't change much, either; if it looks bigger to you, that is a psychological effect. It is common to perceive the Moon as bigger, when it is close to the horizon.
