When we look at the moon we see the light cast onto by The Sun. Where the shadow is cast and what parts are catching light depicts the shape you will see.

A half moon appears as a semi-circle shape in the sky, with one side visible illuminated by the sunlight while the other side remains dark. It is the phase of the moon when it is halfway between a new moon and a full moon.
Being one of the lunar phases, the waxing crescent moon looks like a slim crescent positioned on the right side. As the visible part of the moon grows, it is said to be "waxing."
The "dark" side of the Moon is not a side that's permanently dark, but simply the side - about one half of the Moon - that we can never see from Earth. It's better to call it the "far side" of the Moon. Why the far side is sometimes called the "dark side" is probably just a misunderstanding. Also, it may be to do with the idea that the far side is more "mysterious". Each place on the Moon receives sunlight during the course of a month, as the Moon goes through its phases.
The third quarter moon appears as a half moon illuminated on the left side. It rises around midnight and sets around noon. This phase occurs when the moon is three-fourths of the way through its lunar cycle.
it looks like an average day, except there is a moon.
The correct spelling is waning moon instead of warning moon. A waning moon looks like it is getting smaller. The left side of the moon is smooth and round while the right side of a waning moon appears blurred.
No, sometimes it is towards the Sun (at new moon), sometimes it is in the opposite direction (at full moon).

The lighted portions of the moon look (somewhat) like the letters DOC going from new moon to new moon. A new crescent would have the right side lit.

it is long, thin, and green due to the pigments in the chloroplasts. it sometimes sways side to side.
The moon can only be seen because it "borrows" the light from the sun. When the moon orbits the Earth the sunlit side of the moon changes - causing the moon to look like it changes shape. Many casual observers often believe that the moon's phases are caused by the Earth blocking the sun's light - this is not true, as the moon only passes through Earth's shadow occasionally.
You probably mean the far side, not the dark side:There is no "dark side of the moon". Every point on the moon is illuminated for roughly 50% of the time, just like every point on earth. So sometimes the far side is light, and sometimes it's dark. Just like the near side.None of the Apollo missions landed or traveled to the far side of the moon ... the side that's invisible from earth ... mainly because they could not have communicated with earth by radio from there.
A half moon appears as a semi-circle shape in the sky, with one side visible illuminated by the sunlight while the other side remains dark. It is the phase of the moon when it is halfway between a new moon and a full moon.
the reason you only see one side of the moon is because the rotation of the moon and the revolution speed of the moon are the same
Tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun. The moon rotates around the earth and sometimes is opposite the sun, sometimes on the side with the sun, and in between the rest of the time. Highest tide is when the sun and moon are on the same side of the earth, and the lowest tide is when the moon is on the other side of the earth from the sun.
