Answer 1

GIBBOUS WAXING MOON:The waxing gibbous phase occurs between the first quarter and full moon phases. A full moon is when we can see the entire lit portion of the Moon. ... A waning gibbous moon occurs when more than half of the lit portion of the Moon can be seen and the shape decreases ("wanes") in size from one day to the next.

WAXING CRESCENT MOON:waxing crescent moon with earthshine, via Chuck Reinhart in Vincennes, Indiana. Because the waxing crescent moon is nearly on a line with the Earth and sun, its illuminated hemisphere – or day side – is facing mostly away from us. ... As the moon orbits Earth, it changes phase in an orderly way.
