After the new moon, the part of the moon that is visible to us grows in size as it progresses towards the full moon phase. This phase is known as the waxing phase, during which the illuminated part of the moon gradually increases in size each night.
Half og the moon faces the sun and thus appears bright. Not always the same part, every part has its light and dark and there is no 'dark side' of the moon. Waxing and waining are changes in the parts of the moon where it is day.
