When the moon is more than half full but less than completely full, it is called a "gibbous" moon. Specifically, if it is approaching full, it is referred to as a "waxing gibbous" moon. If it is receding from full, it is called a "waning gibbous" moon. This phase occurs between the first quarter and full moon phases.
A moon that is less than full but more than half is called a "gibbous moon." Specifically, it can be referred to as a "waxing gibbous" when it is moving toward full, or a "waning gibbous" when it is moving away from full. The term "gibbous" describes the shape of the moon as it appears bulging or rounded.

When less and less of the illuminated half of the moon can be seen each night, it is called the "waning" phase of the moon. Specifically, this occurs after the full moon, leading to phases such as the waning gibbous and waning crescent. During this time, the visible portion of the moon decreases until it reaches the new moon phase.
