The moon does not produce its own light; instead, it reflects sunlight. When sunlight hits the moon's surface, some of that light bounces back to Earth, which is why we can see the moon shining in the night sky. The amount of light we see from the moon changes throughout the month, depending on its position relative to the Earth and the Sun, creating the different phases of the moon.

What is the shrinking moon phase?
When viewed from the Earth, if the light side of the Moon appears on the left-hand side, it is classed as "Waning" (getting smaller from a full-moon), whilst if the light is on the right-hand side, it is classed as "Waxing" (getting bigger towards a full-moon). If the Sun leads the Moon in their respective orbits across the sky, the light will be on the right-hand side. If the Moon leads the Sun, the light will be on the left-hand side. Whilst the Moon is associated with night and darkness, the Moon can often be seen during daylight (though difficult to see clearly in a bright daytime sky).
