The waxing crescent phase lasts for about 7 days, occurring after the new moon and before the first quarter moon. During this time, the illuminated portion of the moon gradually increases as it moves in its orbit around the Earth. The crescent shape is visible shortly after sunset, becoming more pronounced each evening.
