Both the Sun and the Moon rises towards the East and sets towards the West. There are times during the Moon orbit round the Earth, when the Moon is in the sky during daylight. The brightness of the sunlight makes it difficult to spot the Moon in the sky.

Which side of the moon is illuminated as it waxes from full to new?
A waxing moon has the light on the right side. A waning moon has the light on the left side. Therefore, moving down from a full moon to a new moon, it must be waning, and the light should be on the left.
Could you see earth if you were standing on the dark side of the moon?
If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.
What fraction of the moon can be seen from the moon when the moon is at its third quarter phase?
Half of it, the same as always. Half of the visible side of the Moon will be brightly lit by the Sun, and the other half is often dimly visible by reflected earthshine, sunlight that is reflected from the Earth and then shines down on the night side of the Moon.

Why does the full moon rise at the same time when the sun goes down?
To be full moon, the Moon has to be opposite the Sun - that way, we see the whole of the illuminated side. The only way for the moon to be on the opposite side of earth is for it to be on the night side. Thus the full moon cannot be out during the day.

Does the sun turn into a moon or the sun goes down and the moon goes down?
The Sun is always illuminating one side of the Moon and one side of the Earth. When the Earth turns away from the Sun, we can see the sunlight reflecting off the Moon. The reflected light is not as bright, but it's closer. Sometimes you can see the Moon and the Sun at the same time, but the Full Moon cannot rise until after sunset.
