Waxing Crescent
First Quarter
Waxing Gibbous
Full Moon.

Thanks to Paracelcus, as the above has been sent by him only. I have just recommended and written on his message board. By mistake my name has been selected as I have answered first. Actually credits must go to friend Paracelcus.
You can see all three of these. The phase of the moon when it is not visible is called new moon.
Ariel is the moon of a superior planet (Uranus), so it's never between the Earth and the Sun. If we see it at all, we see it as a full moon.
The very first phase of the moon is called new moon. You cannot see it in the sky because it is not reflecting the sun's light. The full moon is when you can see the entire side of the moon, which is just reflecting the sun's light. The other phases are the intermediate steps between new-to-full, and then full-to-new. Usually the term phase refers to the appearance of the moon except the way its appearance changes during a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses always occur during the full moon phase.
The moon phase when none of the lighted side can be seen is called a new moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, so the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated.
Full Moon. A New Moon is when you can't see a moon at all.
This is the Full Moon.
The "new moon" by definition is the moon phase where it is completely in the earth's shadow, and we cannot see it at all. New moon is the exact opposite of "full moon".
We see the full moon {the phase}.

After the new moon, the part of the moon that is visible to us grows in size as it progresses towards the full moon phase. This phase is known as the waxing phase, during which the illuminated part of the moon gradually increases in size each night.
In the new Moon phase.
The moon phase when none of the lighted side can be seen is called a new moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, so the side of the moon facing Earth is not illuminated.
You will see most of the moon's surface during the full moon phase when the entire illuminated side of the moon is facing Earth.

The Waxing Moon phase occurs when we can see the right half of the Moon illuminated from Earth as it moves towards a full moon. This phase follows the New Moon and precedes the Full Moon in the lunar cycle.
