Parietal- Either of two large, irregularly quadrilateral bones between the frontal and occipital bones that together form the sides and top of the skull
* American Heritage Dictionary
The sphenoid bone is one of the skull bones and is located relatively deep within the skull. It is only very slightly visible from an exterior view of the skull. Looking side on to a skull it is right between the temporal bone and the zygomatic bone, in other words it is the small section beneath the Pterion. It is also visible when looking into the orbit (with the eye removed) as the bone with the superior orbital fissure through it.
No, the temporal bone is not a flat bone. It is a irregular bone located on the side of the skull and it plays a crucial role in protecting the brain and supporting various structures in the head.
The temporal bone encloses the ear canal. It is a paired bone that is located on each side of the skull. The temporal bone consists of several parts that house structures related to hearing and balance.
The mastoid is a part of the side (temporal bone) of the skull.
The occipital bone is the bone at the back of the skull where the spinal cord attaches to the brain, moving up from there you have a parietal bone on each side and the inter-parietal bone between them
Temporal bone.

Yes, it is possible for one side of the skull to be larger than the other due to variations in bone structure, muscle development, or even cranial deformities. It is important to consult a healthcare professional if you notice any significant differences or asymmetry in skull size.
In the viscerocranium (the face part of the skull) the mandible (jaw bone) can be moved up and down ad side to side.
Actually, the skull is not a bone, it is many bones. The temporal bone would be the bone you feel when you touch your temple.
There are various things which could cause pain when tapping on the right side of the skull. If you are concerned consult a doctor.
The mastoid is a part of the side (temporal bone) of the skull.
I'm guessing that you mean the parietal. Its a curved plate high on the side of your head, part of the skull, above the temporal bone.
The mandible. See the related link for more information.
The occipital bone is the bone at the back of the skull where the spinal cord attaches to the brain, moving up from there you have a parietal bone on each side and the inter-parietal bone between them
