Question

After New moon, the next fourteen days where the moon grows thicker and thicker and becomes visible as a full, near-perfect round moon is called as which phase of the moon?

A.

Waxing phase of the moon

B.

Waning phase of the moon

C.

Decreasing phase of the moon

D.

Vanishing phase of the moon

Correct option is A


The waxing phase of the moon refers to the period after the New Moon, during which the moon appears to grow thicker and thicker in the sky, eventually becoming a Full Moon. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon increases each night, moving from a crescent shape to a full, round moon. This process takes approximately 14 days. The opposite phase, where the moon appears to decrease in size, is known as the waning phase.
