New Moon.
The phase you are referring to is called "waxing," where the amount of the lighted side of the moon that can be seen increases as the moon moves from new moon to full moon.
The different shapes of the moon seen from Earth are called lunar phases. These phases include new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter, which result from the changing positions of the moon, Earth, and the sun.
The changing views of the moon as seen from Earth are called moon phases. These phases result from the relative positions of the sun, Earth, and moon, causing different portions of the moon to be illuminated.
When the moon is visible during the day, it is called a "day moon." This occurrence happens because of the moon's position in its orbit around Earth where it can be seen from Earth in daylight hours.
This phenomenon is called a "lunar sunrise." It occurs when sunlight illuminates the far side of the moon as seen from Earth.
It is called full moon.

No. The other half of the moon is called 'the invisable'
That is sometimes what the Moon is called. Seen from Venus the Earth and Moon would be seen as a pair of bright planets up to 0.5 degrees apart at opposition, which is the diameter of the Moon as seen from Earth.
The different shapes of the moon seen from Earth are called lunar phases. These phases include new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter, which result from the changing positions of the moon, Earth, and the sun.
Since Earth has about 4 times the diameter of the Moon, the angular diameter of Earth, as seen from the Moon, is about 4 times larger than the angular diameter of the Moon, as seen from Earth. Since the Moon's angular diameter as seen from here is about half a degree, that would make Earth's angular diameter about 2 degrees.If you wish, you can look up more exact figures and do more precise calculations, but it is hardly worth the trouble, since there is some variation in the distance from Earth to Moon anyway.

When the shadow of the earth covers it completely. It's called a lunar eclipse or new moon.
The waning Moon phase in which only one-half of the lighted side of the Moon can be seen from Earth is called the Third Quarter Moon. It occurs when the Moon has completed three-quarters of its 29.5-day cycle.
This phenomenon is called a "lunar sunrise." It occurs when sunlight illuminates the far side of the moon as seen from Earth.
