During a waning gibbous phase, the Moon appears to be more than half illuminated but less than fully lit. This phase occurs after a full moon as the illuminated portion gradually decreases. The brightness is still significant, as a waning gibbous can be quite bright in the night sky, often providing ample light for nighttime activities. However, it is not as bright as a full moon.
