waxing
Waxing. This term is used to describe the phase of the moon when it appears to be growing larger in the sky as it transitions from a new moon to a full moon.
It's usually said that the moon is 'waxing' when it appears to grow in size.
When the moon appears to be getting larger each day, it is said to be waxing. This phase occurs as the amount of illuminated surface visible from Earth increases, creating the appearance of a growing moon.
A waxing crescent is the phase of the Moon when it is growing larger but still less than half illuminated. It appears as a crescent shape in the sky. This phase happens after the new moon and before the first quarter moon.
