Answer :
The moon is currently placed in the Waning Gibbous position in its orbit, as seen when we gazed up at the sky in the southern hemisphere and saw the moon illuminated as it appears.
In the Southern Hemisphere, unlike the Northern Hemisphere, the moon light increases in coverage from left to right in the waxing phase and the dark portion increases in coverage from left to right in the waning phase. One half of the moon is illuminated by the sun while the other is under shade. Anyone can see that the moon has a brilliant side facing the Sun and a dark side facing away from it. These lit and dark areas of the surface change in proportion as the moon orbits the Earth.
