No. The moon is not changing in size.
Waxing. This term is used to describe the phase of the moon when it appears to be growing larger in the sky as it transitions from a new moon to a full moon.
It's usually said that the moon is 'waxing' when it appears to grow in size.
The moon is called a waning moon when it is growing smaller in size. This occurs right after a full moon, as the moon transitions from being fully illuminated to gradually becoming less visible.
The term for the moon growing (or appearing to in phases) is waxing.
waxing is when it's growing, waning is when it's shrinking

A cr4scent moon can be either increasing or decreasing. It depends on the time of tha day , when it is seen. A crescent moon seen in the evening/early night is increasing. A crescent moon seen late night/early morning is decreasing.

Yes. with our growing technology an animal can be on the moon
In the northern hemisphere, if the left side of the Moon is dark then the light part is growing, and the Moon is referred to as waxing (moving toward a full moon). If the right side of the Moon is dark then the light part is shrinking, and the Moon is referred to as waning (moving toward a new moon). Assuming that the viewer is in the northern hemisphere, the right portion of the Moon is the part that is always growing (i.e., if the right side is dark, the Moon is growing darker; if the right side is lit, the Moon is growing lighter). In the southern hemisphere the Moon is observed from a perspective inverted to that of the northern hemisphere, so the opposite sides appear to grow (wax) and shrink (wane).
i just took a test on that. there are 2. waning crescent and waxing crescent. waxing means growing stronger and waning means growing weaker.
After the new moon, the part of the moon that is visible to us grows in size as it progresses towards the full moon phase. This phase is known as the waxing phase, during which the illuminated part of the moon gradually increases in size each night.
