The phase of the Moon during which more than half, but less than all, of the visible hemisphere of the Moon is illuminated by sunlight. A gibbous moon is between a full moon and a half moon, or between a half moon and a full moon. There can be two gibbous moons: waxing and waning. " A gibbous moon is one of the phases of the Moon when the size of the illuminated portion is greater than half but not a full Moon. The period between a first quarter moon and a full moon is known as a waxing gibbous moon, because the illuminated region of the Moon is increasing from day to day. After it becomes a full moon, but hasn't reached the last quarter, the Moon is called a waning gibbous moon."
