During the waxing phases, the Moon's elongation is primarily to the east. This means that after the New Moon, as it grows toward the Full Moon, it rises later each day and is visible in the evening sky, appearing to move eastward in relation to the stars. Thus, during this time, the illuminated portion of the Moon increases as it moves away from the Sun's position in the sky.

because the moon always moves
Does Jupiter's moons have phases?
No, Jupiter's moons do not have phases like Earth's moon. Phases are caused by the changing positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, but Jupiter's moons have no light of their own and do not reflect sunlight in the same way.
During the period that the moons phases are changing from new to full the moon is?
During the period that the moon's phases are changing from new to full, the moon is waxing. This means that the illuminated portion of the moon as seen from Earth is increasing. It starts with the new moon, where the moon is not visible, and progresses to the first quarter, then to the gibbous phase, and finally to the full moon. This sequence reflects the moon's orbit around Earth and the changing angles of sunlight illuminating its surface.
