When the visible bright part of the Moon is increasing in size, the term "waxing" is used. When the visible part of the Moon is less and less illuminated each night, the term "waning" applies.

Why is it cooler on the mountain slopes than on the planes during summer?
During summer, hot wind form the sufrace of the land move towards the higher toward the hill areas and as a result the cold wind form the hill blow downwards to occupy those empty areas which bring cold wind, thus making it cooler during summer.w
Does a waxing gibbous make high or low tides?
High and low tide are daily (or more than once a day) occurrences whereas the phases of the moon are connected more to Spring and Neap Tides. Both the sun and the moon have a gravitational pull on the ocean tides. When these are lined up with the Earth and we see a New or Full moon, the pull is greater and we get a Spring Tide. This causes greater differences between both high tide and low tide. When the moon is perpendicular to the "line" between the sun and the Earth, and we see a waxing or waning Quarter moon, we get a Neap Tide, the two gravitational pulls somewhat cancel each other out, and there is less extremes between the high and low tides. A Gibbous moon would occur during a regular tidal height pattern, as its pull neither strengthens nor negates the gravitational pull of the sun.
When will the next meteor shower be in South-Africa?
The Perseid shower will enhance the background rate of "shooting stars" all during the night of August 11-12, wherever you are. Astronomers have predicted two Perseid peaks, at about 0100 and 0530 GMT on August 12th, corresponding to 2100 and 0130 Eastern Daylight Time (Montreal, Toronto, New York, etc.). Neither of these predicted occasions is too useful anywhere in east longitude, on account of the waning gibbous moon and eventual daylight; but there should still be something to watch for at any time during the night of 11 to 12 August.

What are the two parts of fiscal policy?
Fiscal policy is a way in which the government can attempt to influence economic activity through spending and taxation. By either increasing spending or decreasing taxes, the government is often attempting to stimulate economic activity during times of recession. By decreasing spending or increasing taxes, the government is trying to slow down economic activity during times of inflation.
Why isn't earthshine apparent during the gibbous lunar phases?
The sunlit side of the moon drowns out the Earthshine from the "dark side" of the moon and the gibbous moon is mainly above the horizon during the nighttime hours, so Earthshine is almost never seen on a gibbous moon.
Why can you not see the half of the moon that is lit during a waning gibbous?
you can't see the half of the moon that is lit during a waning gibbous because of the position that the moon is in relation to the sun and earth.
