A gibbous moon (waxing or waning) is when we can see morethan half of the moon's sunlit side when viewed from Earth, a gibbous moon has a sort of lemon shape. A crescent moon (waxing or waning) is when we can see less than half of the moon's sunlit side and it looks like a fingernail when viewed from Earth.
