Answer:
hey mate the answer is above!
The moon does not appear similar on different days rather its shape changes every day. The different shapes of the moon are called the phases of moon.New Moon: On the new moon day, no moon is visible in the sky.
Waning Crescent: During the Waning Crescent Moon phase, the illuminated part of the Moon decreases from the lit up semicircle at Third Quarter until it disappears from view entirely at New Moon.
Waning means that it is getting smaller while crescent refers to the curved shape similar to a banana or a boat.
With some variations, the Waning Crescent Moon rises after midnight and is still up and visible in the morning and day sky before it sets in the afternoon.
There is no common symbol for a Waning Crescent Moon in calendars as it is an intermediate Moon phase. Only the 4 primary phases are shown in calendars with the symbols.
These symbols reflect the Moon's appearance in the Northern Hemisphere, which can be confusing for people in the Southern Hemisphere, where the opposite side may be illuminated.
The Moon illustration on our Moon phase pages changes as time passes, and indicates more accurately, although not perfectly, which part of the Moon is illuminated in more than 5000 locations worldwide.
Waxing Gibbous: Within about 10 days from the new moon day; the moon appears as a circle with some portion cut off. This is called the waxing gibbous moon.
Just after the First Quarter Moon, when we can see exactly half of the face of the Moon illuminated, the intermediate phase called Waxing Gibbous Moon starts.
Waxing means that it is getting bigger. Gibbous refers to the shape, which is less than the full circle of a Full Moon, but larger than the semicircle shape of the Moon at Third Quarter.
With some exceptions, the Waxing Gibbous Moon rises during the day, after noon. It is usually visible in the evening and sets after midnight.
During this period, the lit up portion of the Moon increases from 50.1% to 99.9%.
Technically, this phase lasts until the moment of Full Moon. However, it can be difficult to differentiate the last stage of a Waxing Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when as much as 98% to 99% of the Moon's surface is illuminated.
There is no symbol for the Waxing Gibbous Moon in calendars as it is an intermediate Moon phase. Only the 4 primary phases are shown in calendars with the symbols.
These symbols reflect the Moon's appearance in the Northern Hemisphere, which can be confusing for people in the Southern Hemisphere, where the opposite side may be illuminated.
