The length of time can vary, as some brand new kittens will be able to see as soon as a day after birth. Some are a little more reluctant to see the world â they would rather wait a few more days before facing the cold, harsh realities of kittenhood. Relaxing in the sun on their backs. Playing with their siblings.
A waning moon is any phase of the moon during the lunar cycle between the full moon and the new moon. It is a moon that is getting smaller every night. The lunar cycle is a period of about 29 days during which the moon's shape changes from our vantage on earth.
On the moonâs journey from new moon to full moon, we see a growing portion of its illuminated half, and this is called the waxing phase (waxing means growing or increasing). As the moon then goes from full to new again, we see a diminishing portion of its illuminated half, and this is called waning, which means decreasing in strength or intensity.
