This is the full moon phase. Earth is between the Sun and the Moon at this time. In the first half of the lunar month, we say the Moon is waxing (growing). In the second half, it is waning (shrinking).
Why does moon grow and shrink?
The alignment of the Moon and the Sun determines the phase of the Moon. The waxing crescent moon grows till it is about half full in the phase we call first quarter. From there it grows to full moon and then begins to shrink back to third quarter, waning crescent and finally back to new moon.
