Answer:

Waxing is "Maxing," or growing with light until a full moon is reached. Waning is the opposite, or decreasing after a full moon, and is always illuminated on the left. ... And then a waxing or waning Crescent Moon, when less than half is illuminated. A quarter moon is when half the surface which faces the earth is lit.

hi

here your answer mate ✨

waxing period of moon-

A waxing moon is any phase of the moon during the lunar cycle between the new moon and the full moon. A moon that is waxing is one that is getting larger each night. The lunar cycle is a period of about 29 days as the moon's shape seems to change from our vantage point on Earth.

waning period of moon-

After the full moon, the percentage of the illuminated surface that we can see gets smaller and smaller, until it disappears and we have a new moon again. During that period of getting smaller, the moon is called a waning moon. To 'wane' means to get less and less, or to decline.
