The time of day that the Moon rises or sets depends on its phase. This should be obvious when you remember that the phase of the Moon depends on the relative positions of the Sun, Moon and Earth. For example when the Moon is Full it is opposite the Earth from the Sun, so when the Sun sets, the Moon must rise and vice versa. Here is a table summarizing that: Moon phase Moonrise Moonset New Moon Sunrise Sunset 1st quarter Local noon Local midnight Full Moon Sunset Sunrise 3rd quarter Local midnight Local noon By local noon and local midnight I mean the points when the Sun crosses the meridian, and exactly 12 hours later. This can be different from the time on your watch because we define time zones which all use the local time at the centre of the zone.
First Quarter moon rises one quarter day after the sun, or around Noon.
Around noon, plus or minus a bit depending on where in your time zone you live.
On the day that the moon is at its first quarter phase it rises around noon and sets around midnight.
The full moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise. The last quarter moon rises around midnight and sets around noon, and the new moon rises around sunrise and sets around sunset.
Pretty close. The precise time of day when the Moon reaches it's maximum altitude in the sky will depend on the season and on your location (especially your relation to the central meridian un your time zone), and whether Daylight Savings Time is in effect.
But in general, the first quarter moon rises at about noon, and is directly overhead 6 hours later.
Around midnight.
The new moon rises about the same time the Sun does. The first quarter moon rises about noon, and the full moon rises when the Sun sets.
The exact time of these events would depend on where you are within your time zone, and whether you are in an area where Daylight Savings Time is observed.

What is the name of the semi circle moon phase?
The semi-circle shape can be the 1st or 3rd quarter. Perhaps you would want to double check, but I believe that if the "flat" side of the shape is facing to the left, that is the 1st quarter; to the right - 3rd quarter.

The Moon is not visible at the new moon phase. At the first quarter, it is "waxing" - the illuminated portion is increasing. At the full, the illuminated portion of the Moon is 100%, and it is finished waxing and is about to begin "waning", when the illuminated part is decreasing. At the 3rd quarter, it is waning.

The moon looks like a half-circle about a week later on another clear nght you go outside and you cannot see the moon predict how much of the moon you will see after another week passes?
The obviously desired answer is "a half-circle", because you originally saw the 3rd quarter moon, and a week later the Moon would have been new. So after another week, you would see the first-quarter moon. However, if you go outside on a clear evening, you will not see the third-quarter Moon, because the third-quarter Moon does not rise until midnight. So if you saw the third quarter moon high in the sky, it would have been at about 3AM. I don't know about YOU, but I'm hardly ever up at 3AM, and if I am, I'm inside. And if you do not see the Moon at night, all that tells you is that you don't see the Moon. Depending on the time, it may not be up yet, or it may already have set.
What are the phases of the moon in the order they occur?
New Moon, Waxing Cresent, 1st Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, 3rd Quarter, Waning Cresent and then it starts all over again.
