Cyclic Patterns of Lunar Phases, Eclipses of the Sun and Moon, and Seasons. Waning Gibbous is the size between a Full Moon and a Third Quarter, and means three fourths of a full moon, but getting smaller.
Our Moon's shape doesn't really change — it only appears that way! The “amount” of Moon that we see as we look from Earth changes in a cycle that repeats about once a month (29.5 days). The relative positions of our Sun, Earth, and Moon, cause these changes.

As the Sun sets, the Moon rises with the side that faces Earth fully exposed to sunlight (5).The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon)
