Discuss waxing of the moon phases?
The moon goes through two main phases, waxing and waning. Waxing is when the, from your position on Earth, the moon is systematically getting more visible. Waning is the opposite, when the moon is getting less visible. The moon goes from a new moon,(0% is visible), to a crescent moon (waxing), then to a first quarter (waxing), then a waxing Gibbous, and to a full moon (100% is visible). After a full moon, the moon begins waning to a waning gibbous, then a last quarter, a crescent, and finally a new moon. After this the cycle begins again. These are the visible spectrums of the moon in relation to a point on the Earth.
