What is a moon phase is?

The very first phase of the moon is called new moon. You cannot see it in the sky because it is not reflecting the sun's light. The full moon is when you can see the entire side of the moon, which is just reflecting the sun's light. The other phases are the intermediate steps between new-to-full, and then full-to-new. Usually the term phase refers to the appearance of the moon except the way its appearance changes during a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses always occur during the full moon phase.


Do you see the same moon phase at night as the people on the other side of the world do?

Yes, just 12 hours later [or earlier, as the case may be]. At any moment, everybody who can see the moon sees the same shape. (And that can be day or night.)
