New Moon is a phase of the moon cycle in which it is not visible at all.
On the next day, a small part of the moon is visible. Thereafter, the moon appears to be expanding day by day.
On a special day, the moon appears completely full and visible. This is known as Full Moon.
This apparent growing of the moon is also called a Waxing of the moon.
