In the northern hemisphere, if the left side of the Moon is dark then the light part is growing, and the Moon is referred to as waxing (moving toward a full moon). If the right side of the Moon is dark then the light part is shrinking, and the Moon is referred to as waning (moving toward a new moon). Assuming that the viewer is in the northern hemisphere, the right portion of the Moon is the part that is always growing (i.e., if the right side is dark, the Moon is growing darker; if the right side is lit, the Moon is growing lighter). In the Southern Hemisphere the Moon is observed from a perspective inverted to that of the northern hemisphere, so the opposite sides appear to grow (wax) and shrink (wane).

The eight moon phases are New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent. These phases represent the different stages in the lunar cycle as viewed from Earth.

There are eight phases that the moon goes through for each cycle. They are the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning gibbous.
New Moon, Waxing Cresent, 1st Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, 3rd Quarter, Waning Cresent and then it starts all over again.
Waxing and waning.
Waxing crescent, waxing gibbous, waning gibbous, waning crescent, new moon.
Full, New, Quarter, Waning/ Waxing Gibbous, Waning/ Waxing Crescent, and Half.
Those are called the "phases" of the Moon. The Moon can be "full", meaning we can see all of the sunlit hemisphere. It can be "new", meaning we can't see any of it in sunlight. Between those phases are "waxing and waning crescents" and "waxing and waning gibbous", and the "first and third quarter phases". The actual order of the phases is: New, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, third quarter, waning crescent.
The Phases of the moon are Full moon,Waxing Gibbous,Waning Gibbous, Waxing Cresent, Waning Cresent and New Moon.
The eight moon phases are New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent. These phases represent the different stages in the lunar cycle as viewed from Earth.

"Waxing" is growing BIGGER from one night to the next."Waning" is shrinking SMALLER from one night to the next.
There are eight phases that the moon goes through for each cycle. They are the new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning gibbous.
Waning gibbous caused by the sunlight of the sun causes all the phases, it changh like a waxing gibbous and waning gibbous in the moon phases.
New, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning crescent.
The New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Third Quarter are moments in time, with no duration. The Waxing and Waning Crescents, and the Waxing and Waning Gibbous phases, each last roughly a week. There is no "time between" phases. As soon as one ends, another one begins immediately.
