What moon phase occurs 3-4 days after a waning gibbous?
ALIYAH HERNANDEZ
After the first quarter, the sunlit portion is still increasing, but now it is more than half, so it is waxing gibbous. After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next.

What are the 12 Phases of the Moon?
New Moon (dark), Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent. (then back to New)New MoonThis is when the moon is directly between the earth and the sun, so the lit side of the moon is facing away from the earth and it appears there is no moon because we only see the dark side. If the alignment of the Sun, moon and earth is good enough, then there is a chance for a solar eclipse to occur at this point.Waxing CrescentAs the moon begins to move slowly away from the sun, a small portion of the moon is illuminated in a crescent shape. At first it is just a sliver, and each night the sliver becomes a little larger until it reaches the first quarter.First QuarterWhen the moon reaches the `first quarter` one half of the moon is illuminated by the sun. This occurs about one week after a new moon. The moon has completed one quarter of its orbit around earth at this point, from the new moon position.Waxing GibbousAs the moon continues to orbit, more and more of the moon is illuminated. After several days, it reaches the opposite of the waxing crescent. Nearly all the moon is lit and just a small crescent is still dark.Full MoonOnce the moon reaches the midpoint in its monthly orbit, it is directly opposite the sun and fully illuminated. At this time, a lunar eclipse might occur, but only id the alignments are good enough.Waning GibbousAs the moon continues its orbit, it begins to develop a darkened crescent on one side. It begins as a small sliver and increases over several days until the three quarter moon.Last QuarterThe last quarter is where the moon begins to enter the final quarter of its orbit. The moon is once again half illuminated, but this time it is the opposite side to the first quarter that is lit.Waning CrescentFinally, the moon moves through its final phase back toward its original position directly between the earth and sun. It gets increasingly darker until finally there is just a small crescent shaped sliver of illumination.
