∙ 6y agoThis indicates that the moon is waxing, meaning it is transitioning from a new moon to a full moon. As the days progress, more of the moon's sunlit side becomes visible from Earth.
The gibbous moon appears to grow fatter each night until we see the full sunlit face of the Moon. We call this phase the full moon. It rises almost exactly as the Sun sets and sets just as the Sun rises the next day. The Moon has now completed one half of the lunar month while orbiting earth. Hope this helps!
When the moon is completely lit up, it is called a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, causing the moon's entire sunlit side to be visible from Earth.
A gibbous moon (waxing or waning) is when we can see morethan half of the moon's sunlit side when viewed from Earth, a gibbous moon has a sort of lemon shape. A crescent moon (waxing or waning) is when we can see less than half of the moon's sunlit side and it looks like a fingernail when viewed from Earth.
The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.

The brightness depends on that.
the New Moon is difficult to see from the earth since the sunlit side of the moon is turned away from the earth.
when the moon is considered new, the sunlit side of the moon is not visable to the earth
Phase
When the side of the moon facing Earth is dark and not visible, it is called the "new moon" phase. During this phase, the sunlit side of the moon is facing away from Earth, making it appear dark from our perspective.
A full moon occurs when the earth, moon, and sun are in approximate alignment, but the moon is on the opposite side of the earth, so the entire sunlit part of the moon is facing earth.
Phases, a phase depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces.
