The stages of the Moon, are referred to as the 'Phases of the Moon'.
The light areas on the moon are called highlands or terrae. These regions are characterized by rugged terrain and are typically brighter in color compared to the darker regions known as maria.
The brightness of the moon can vary due to its phase, distance from Earth, and atmospheric conditions. A full moon appears brightest because it is fully illuminated by the sun and is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit.
The cause of the phases of the Moon is closely related to our calendar month. (moon-th). The phases of the Moon are related to the Moon's orbit of Earth.

The brighter the Moon (closer to full) the fewer stars that can be seen due to the Moon 'blinding' observers.

As it orbits earth it occasionally gets closer than other times or it's the moon phases
The moon has 8 phases
There are only 8 phases of the moon.
When the term wane is used for the moon, it relates to the moon's phases. There are eight phases, the new moon, the full moon, 1st quarter, 3rd quarter, waning gibbous, waning crescent, waxing gibbous and waxing crescent. In your case, a wane moon means that it is getting smaller. A waxing moon or crescent means that it is getting bigger.
The brightness of the moon can vary due to its phase, distance from Earth, and atmospheric conditions. A full moon appears brightest because it is fully illuminated by the sun and is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit.
You get the phases of the moon from the Sun reflecting off the moon at different angles.

As with any month there are all the phases of the moon.
