Where on earth is closest to the moon?

What is the moon called at the halfway point in its journey around earth is it gibbous moon?
The moon is called a first quarter moon at the halfway point in its journey around Earth. This is when the right half of the moon is illuminated. A gibbous moon occurs when more than half, but not all, of the moon is illuminated.
