What phase would Earth be in if you were on the moon when the moon was full? At first quarter? At waning crescent?

Hi. It would be "New Earth" with not part lighted and visible at full moon. At first quarter the Earth would also look like first quarter. At waning crescent the Earth would be waxing gibbous.

Its all a matter of picturing it.
Get a lamp (to be the sun), a basketball (to be the Earth), and a baseball (to be the sun).
Put the baseball on the far side of the basketball from the lamp. To someone on the night side of the basketball, it would be a full moon.
Now imagine you're on the baseball on the side facing the basketball. The part of the basketball you're facing is in night, right? The sunlit side is away from you, right?
When the moon is what we call a new moon, the sunlit side is facing away from us, we are facing the night side.
So even though we don't live on the moon, you can imagine the phases of the Earth you would see if you just picture the angles of light.
