What comes after the waning gibbous moon?
(Restating the question as "What phase of the Moon follows 'waning gibbous'?) The phase of the Moon which follows 'Waning Gibbous' is 'Last Quarter'. The Gibbous phases are the periods when the Moon is more than 50% illuminated. Waxing being the period when it is approaching Full, and Waning being the period after Full, but before 'Last Quarter'. See Wikipedia entry for "Lunar Phase"
What phases can we see less than one half of the lighted part of the moon?
Crescent.
How many days does a lunar phase last?
The New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Third Quarter are moments in time, with no duration. The Waxing and Waning Crescents, and the Waxing and Waning Gibbous phases, each last roughly a week.
If you look at the sky tonight and see a waning gibbous what moon phase will you see in two weeks?
Two weeks after the waning gibbous phase of the moon you will see a new moon.
How often is each moon phase seen in the night sky?
Both of the waxing phases have more of the Moon illuminated each night:Waxing crescent - from 1% to 49% illuminated(first quarter)Waxing gibbous - from 51% to 99% illuminated.
What would you have to do if you wanted to see the Moon's waning crescent phases?

How many crescent moon you can see in a month?
In a typical month, you can see two crescent moons: one during the waxing phase and one during the waning phase. The waxing crescent appears shortly after the new moon, while the waning crescent appears just before the new moon again. Depending on the lunar cycle, there may be slight variations, but generally, two crescent moons are visible each month.

Crescent.

How long will it take from one waning crescent until the next waning crescent?
A waning crescent phase typically lasts around 7-8 days until it transitions into the new moon phase. So, it will take about 28-30 days for a complete cycle from one waning crescent to the next waning crescent phase.
During what sequence of phases can you see less of the moon?
Crescent is the phase that's less than half. Gibbous is the phase that's more than half, but less than full.
What is the part of the moon you see becomes less and less?
Crescent, waning
If you look at the sky tonight and see a waning gibbous what moon phase will you see in two weeks?

What phase is it when you only see one small slice of the moon?
The crescent phase.
What phases can we not see the moon?
The phases of the moon that we cannot see are the New Moon and the waning crescent phase, specifically when it is positioned between the Earth and the Sun. During the New Moon, the moon is illuminated by the sun on its far side, making it virtually invisible from Earth. Similarly, the waning crescent phase occurs just before the New Moon, when only a small sliver of the moon is visible, often making it difficult to see against the brightness of the sky.
