A gibbous moon refers to the phase of the Moon when it is more than half illuminated but not yet full. This phase occurs between the first quarter and full moon stages, as well as between the full moon and last quarter. The term "gibbous" comes from the Latin word "gibbosus," meaning humped or curved, reflecting the Moon's appearance during this phase. There are two types of gibbous moons: waxing gibbous (growing towards full) and waning gibbous (shrinking after full).
