What the phase that results when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun?
When it is directly opposite, it would be a Full Moon. But the Moon spends half of its orbit on the side opposite the Sun, which includes all of the Gibbous phases from First Quarter to Last Quarter.
What earth phase do you see when you see a waxing gibbous phase on the moon?
It would be the opposite. If we went to the moon when it was full, we would look back at an earth in shadow (a `new earth`) If we went to the moon when it was new, then it would be between us and the sun, so we would look back at a full earth. For a waxing gibbous from earth, the earth would be a waning crescent from the moon.
