When the lighted part of the moon grows it is a "waxing moon".
A waxing moon has the light on the right, and is heading towards a full moon (getting bigger).A waning moon has the light on the left and is getting smaller.
It is called Waxing! _________________________ The Moon is always the same size. What we see increasing is the lighted part of the nearside of the Moon. When it is increasing, we call it "waxing"; when we see it decreasing, the word "waning" is used.

The Moon reflects PART of the light it receives from the Sun. And part of this reflected light is seen by us, here on Earth.

The Moon does not have light of its own. The light we see from the Moon is the light of the Sun reflected toward Earth.When you see the phases of the Moon, you are only seeing part of the Moon's lighted surface, because at any time exactly half of its surface is facing the Sun, and receiving light from it. With a telescope you can dimly see the part that is not lighted, because some light from Earth is likewise being reflected to the Moon.Reflected sunlight
