The Moon itself doesn't change at all. What we see as the "phases" of the Moon are simply the month-long days and nights on the Moon's surface.
The light comes from the Sun, over THERE, while we see the daylit part of the Moon from the Earth, HERE. At the "new" phase, the daytime side of the Moon is the farside; at the new, we're seeing the lunar night. At the full moon, we see the lunar noon.

When the moon is more than half full but less than completely half is called?
When the moon is more than half full but less than completely full, it is called a "gibbous" moon. Specifically, if it is approaching full, it is referred to as a "waxing gibbous" moon. If it is receding from full, it is called a "waning gibbous" moon. This phase occurs between the first quarter and full moon phases.
