If it is getting smaller it is waning.
waxing is when it's growing, waning is when it's shrinking
A moon that gets smaller after the full moon is called a waning moon. It goes through phases from full moon to new moon.
because the moon is much smaller than earth
When the moon appears to be getting smaller, (approaching nothing - no moon, or "new moon") we say that the moon is "Waning".When the moon appears to be getting larger (approaching the "Full Moon"), we say that the moon is "Waxing".
No, the moon is not growing in size. Its appearance changes due to different phases caused by the position of the sun, Earth, and moon relative to each other.

It becomes slowly smaller until it disappears and then starts growing larger (waxing) again.
Waxing means growing larger; waning means getting smaller.
"Waxing" is growing BIGGER from one night to the next."Waning" is shrinking SMALLER from one night to the next.
The "more than 50%" moon is called the gibbous moon. When it is "growing" (appearing to get larger), it is a Waxing Gibbous; when "shrinking," it's the Waning Gibbous.
