Does it take 29.5 days for it to take the new moon to full moon?

No - it takes about 2 weeks to go from a new moon to a full moon - then 2 more weeks to go from a full moon, to a new moon again. 4 weeks total - that's why it's called a "month" - it comes from the word "moon" ---- The periodic variations in the geometry of the Earth-Moon-Sun system are responsible for the phases of the moon, which repeat every 29.5 days, thus from new to full moon takes half this time

When does the moon wax?

When the Moon is "waxing", it is increasing in visible size. This is between the new moon to the full moon. When the Moon is "waning" it is decreasing in size, from the full moon to the new moon.


Where is the full moon at sunset?

The position of the full moon at sunset can vary depending on its phase and location in the sky. However, in general, the full moon rises in the east as the sun sets in the west, so you are likely to see the full moon rising around the time of sunset in the opposite direction.
