The moon appears as a waxing gibbous when it is more than half illuminated but less than full.
The phase of the Moon that occurs when it is three-quarters full just before the full Moon phase is the waxing gibbous phase. This phase occurs as the Moon is waxing, or growing larger, towards the full Moon.
"Waxing" is the term used when the Moon's illuminated part is growing in size, while "waning" means that the lighted part is decreasing. "Gibbous" means more than half, but not full. So "waxing gibbous" is the phase of the Moon between the first quarter and the full moon.
A lunar month, or 28 days, consists of the following phrases of the moon in order: New moon, waxing gibbous, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, waning gibbous, and then new moon again. Waning means the visibile portion of the moon is getting smaller, and waxing means the visible portion of the moon is getting larger. The moons phases always happen from right to left.
