Like the Moon, Venus waxes (increases) and wanes (decreases). One way to remember the meaning of these words is to think of a candle. Waxing of a wick produces a candle that, once lit, immediately begins to wane away until complete darkness. Another way to remember is to associate wane with fade. Both have a long a, whereas wax has a short a. Some boys and men like a fade cut. The hair wanes away. Here are several images of Venus and Venus Express. drawing courtesy of https://www.physics.ucla.edu/~huffman/venus.htm images courtesy of https://science.nasa.gov/phases-venus English: Animation of Venus Express's trajectory from 9 November 2005 to 31 December 2006, 1 August 2018, Data source: HORIZONS System, JPL, NASA, author Phoenix7777, no changes made
