Is sun rise or moon rise when the sun or moon breaks the horizon or when the entire sun or moon can be seen by the naked eye?

Sunrise (and moonrise) is when the leading edge of the sun just breaks the horizon, and sunset is when the trailing edge of the sun just sinks below the horizon. Observations may differ slightly from calculated times, since air conditions will effect the bending of the light

Is sun rise or moon rise when the sun or moon breaks the horizon or is it when the entire sun or moon is visible to the naked eye?
It is when the sun or moon breaks the horizon. And sunset and moonset happen when the last bit (trailing limb) goes below the horizon.

Actually, the Moon appears larger when it is at the horizon. This is every time you happen to see it near the horizon, but it is only an illusion.Actually, the Moon appears larger when it is at the horizon.

Is it be impossible to see any object the distance of the moon or the moon?
Our eyes can only see as far as the horizon, due to the curvature of the Earth. For instance, an observer standing on a hill 100 feet (30 m) in height, their horizon is at a distance of 12.2 miles (19.6 km). Obviously, without the restriction of a horizon, we can look out far into space on a dark night and see our moon and many stars and planets with the naked eye - even better with a telescope.

What will you observe in the sky if the moon appears above the horizon before the sun has gone below the horizon?
You will observe both the Sun and the Moon.
When can you see the new moon with your naked eye?
we can not see the new moon if it sets along with the sun i.e almost the same time the sun sets. Next day the moon will remain above horizon for about 41.5 minutes after the sun sets. So depending on the location on earth i.e from a given lat/long if the new moon stays about half the above time gap i.e to say about 20 minutes above horizon on any location, it will be visible better towards later part of its time above horizon in reduced light at sunset.
When the moon crosses the western side of the horizon plane is it rising or setting?
