When the moon is waxing, the sunlit part we can see
is growing. During a waxing crescent, we can see only a small section on the right that is shaped like a crescent. You can remember which is waxing and which is waning because waxing rhymes with relaxing, and the first letter of relaxing is R, which starts the word right, the lit up side.
