Waxing. I got this correct on my test.
waxing
it is called waxing. when the lighted part of moon starts growing bigger till it becomes from a new moon to a full moon it is called waxing.
No, during a full moon, we see the entire lighted side of the moon, whereas during a new moon, the lighted side of the moon is facing away from Earth so we see no lighted side at all.
After the half-moon phase, the moon's lighted side appears to grow smaller every night, transitioning towards the new moon phase where the moon is not visible in the sky. This progression is known as the waning crescent phase.
The moon is said to be waning, when the lighted part gets smaller. When it gets larger, the moon is waxing.

When the lighted part of the moon grows it is a "waxing moon".

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.

a new moon is when the moon is forming again and a full moon is when the moon is fully formed <><><><><> The new moon is when the Moon is minimally lighted, while the full moon is when the Moon is maximally lighted.
This is what causes the so-called "phases" of the moon: although fully half of the moon is lighted, we can only see part of the lighted part. A person on earth hardly ever sees all of the lighted side of the moon. When he does, he calls the sight a "full moon."
Not exactly. The lighted side of the moon as seen from Earth is that part that is not shadowed by the Earth.
The moon is said to be waning, when the lighted part gets smaller. When it gets larger, the moon is waxing.
the lighted half is facing towards the sun not the earth
yes the phases do depend on the lighted side.
