Waxing Crescent Moon
- the waxing crescent moon, happens when the moon is between a 0 and 90 degree angle with respect to the Earth and Sun.
- so we are seeing less than half of the moon illuminated and more than half in shadow.
- the word “crescent†refers to the phases where the moon is less that half illuminated.
