What moon phase has more than half the moon illuminated?

The moon phase that has more than half of its surface illuminated is known as the Waxing Gibbous phase. This occurs after the First Quarter phase and before the Full Moon, when the visible portion of the moon is increasing. Conversely, after the Full Moon, the moon enters the Waning Gibbous phase, where it also appears more than half illuminated but is decreasing in visibility.
