hi

here your answer mate✨

waxing Period of the Moon

As the surface of the moon becomes more lighted each day on the way to full, it's “waxing.” “To wax” means to increase in size gradually, and used to be a frequent synonym for “grow,” according to the The Oxford English Dictionary. It was first used to describe the moon around 970, the OED says

waning Period of the 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.
