Question

What is a difference between a waxing crescent and a waning gibbous? (1 point)

Answer 1

A waxing crescent is the phase of the moon when it is less than half illuminated and increasing in visible size, typically appearing shortly after the new moon. In contrast, a waning gibbous is the phase when more than half of the moon is illuminated and decreasing in size, occurring after a full moon.
