The various stages: * New moon - 0% visible
* Waxing crescent - between new and first quarter
* First quarter - 50% visible
* Waxing gibbous - between first quarter and full
* Full moon - 100% visible
* Waning gibbous - between full and last quarter
* Last quarter - 0% visible
* Waning crescent - between last quarter and new
* New - cycle repeats
The phase that occurs between the first quarter and the full moon is the waxing gibbous phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing in size, moving towards the full moon phase.
waxing gibous
The phase that occurs between the first quarter moon and the full moon is the waxing gibbous phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon continues to grow larger each night until it reaches full illumination.
The waxing crescent is the first phase after the new moon.
During a quarter phase of the Moon, either the first or third quarter, the Earth, Moon, and Sun are positioned at approximately right angles to each other. In the first quarter phase, the Moon is located between the Earth and the Sun, while in the third quarter phase, the Earth is between the Moon and the Sun. This positioning causes half of the Moon's surface to be illuminated and visible from Earth, creating the characteristic half-moon appearance.
The moon phase between waxing crescent and first quarter is called waxing gibbous. In this phase, the moon is more than half illuminated but less than full.
The moon cycles through 4 phases every month. There are about 3 weeks between the first and last quarter phases of the moon.
The phase that occurs between the first quarter and the full moon is the waxing gibbous phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing in size, moving towards the full moon phase.
I believe that the anwser is last quarter.
The phase that comes before the last quarter is called the waning gibbous.

Waxing crescent.
The phase that occurs between the first quarter moon and the full moon is the waxing gibbous phase. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon continues to grow larger each night until it reaches full illumination.
The phase where the moon looks like a semicircle is called the "first quarter" or "last quarter," depending on its position in the lunar cycle. In the first quarter phase, half of the moon's surface is illuminated and visible from Earth, appearing as a right half. In the last quarter phase, the left half is illuminated. Both phases showcase a semi-circular appearance of the moon.
