I hope this is more than enough help! :)
New moon.
The waxing phase of the moon when you can see half of the lighted side is called the First Quarter Moon. During this phase, the moon is positioned at a right angle to the Earth and sun, resulting in half of its surface being illuminated. This occurs approximately one week after the New Moon phase, marking the transition from darkness to increasing light.
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.
Not exactly. The lighted side of the moon as seen from Earth is that part that is not shadowed by the Earth.
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.
New moon.
During the entire two weeks from First Quarter to Third Quarter, more of the moon's lighted surface faces toward Earth than faces away from it.
That would be Third Quarter.
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.
This phase is called a waning moon and occurs as the moon transitions from a full moon to a new moon. The decrease is a result of the changing position of the moon in relation to the sun and Earth.
Not exactly. The lighted side of the moon as seen from Earth is that part that is not shadowed by the Earth.
The moon is in its waning phase when less and less of the side facing the earth is lighted. This phase occurs after the full moon and leads up to the new moon when the side facing the earth is completely dark.
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.
The moon phase when none of the lighted portion can be seen from Earth 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.
That's "First Quarter", roughly 7.5 days after New Moon.

That's the 'Full Moon'.
