How does the waxing crescent moon occur?
The waxing crescent moon occurs shortly after the new moon phase when the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. As the moon orbits the Earth, a small portion of its surface begins to be illuminated by sunlight, creating a crescent shape. This phase lasts until the moon has completed about one-quarter of its orbit, at which point it will transition into the first quarter phase. During this time, the illuminated portion increases, hence the term "waxing."
What phase occurs between the first quarter moon and the full moon?
The phase that occurs between the first quarter moon and the full moon is the waxing gibbous phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon continues to grow larger each night until it reaches full illumination.
