The waxing gibbous phase occurs when the Moon is between the first quarter and full moon phases. During this time, more than half of the Moon's surface is illuminated by the Sun, but it is not yet fully visible. This phase results from the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, with the Moon moving in its orbit and increasing the amount of sunlight reflected towards Earth. As the Moon continues its orbit, it will eventually reach the full moon phase.
