What are the phase of themoon and what do they look like?

The first phase is a new moon, that is when you can't see the moon at all. Next is a waxing crescent, that is when the moon looks a bit like a banana. The next phase is a half moon (which in space it is actually a quarter moon but in Earth it looks like a half moon) is when the moon is right down the middle. Next is a waxing gibbous, which is when it is nearly full (3 quarters). The next phase is the full moon which is when you can see all the moon reflecting from the Sun. The next phase is a waning gibbous is when the moon is three quarters again but it is facing the other way because its getting smaller. The next phase is the half moon again but facing the other way. The next phase is a waning crescent Moon which is when the moon looks like a banana again but facing the other way. The next phase is back to the new moon when you can see nothing again. That is all the phases of the moon and it take about 28 days to do that while orbiting the earth.

What blocks the moon when it is half a moon?

The object that blocks the moon when there is a half moon is the moon itself. The moon is a sphere, so only one half of it can be sunlit at any moment. The other half is dark just because the sun is below the horizon for that half of the moon. And when we see a half moon, we are simply looking at the moon just as the line of sunrise/sunset cuts across the moon's diameter.

"Waxing" is the term used when the Moon's illuminated part is growing in size, while "waning" means that the lighted part is decreasing. "Gibbous" means more than half, but not full. So "waxing gibbous" is the phase of the Moon between the first quarter and the full moon.
