Question #1be18

Answer 1

It means the moon is between around `120 and 150^@` from the sun.

Explanation:

At `90^@` from the sun, the moon is waxing and half lit, and at `180^@` we see a full moon. The word gibbous is used to describe a moon that is more than half, but not fully lit. There is thus a waxing and a waning gibbous moon in each lunar month. A diagram should help make it clearer:
