A waning moon appears as a gradually decreasing illuminated portion of the moon's surface, moving towards a new moon phase where the moon is completely dark. This phase is observed in the days following a full moon.
After the moon was full, it starts to wane. That is, it starts to get dark on the right side. So anything less than a full moon, with the dark part on the right, is a waning moon. There are such things as a waning crescent, that is, the lighted part of the moon looks like a lefthand parenthesis ( . The waning gibbous moon is larger than a half moon, but smaller than a full moon, and about one-third of the moon is dark on the right side.
