At midnight, you could see any phase from first quarter through full moon, to last quarter. IF you could see the moon at noon, it would be the phases from third quarter through new moon, to first quarter. The new moon can't be seen for two reasons, though: 1, because the sky is so bright and it is so close to our line to the sun, and 2, because we are looking at it from the dark side. We can see its silhouette during a solar eclipse, though.

at noon there is a quickly reached point at which the moon wont be visible due to the brightness of the sky. the closer the moon is to the sun in the sky, the smaller the 'slice' and less bright, so its an interesting question.

It depends on what phase the moon is in. In other words, where it is in it's 29.6-day orbit around the Earth.

It depends upon the location and time of year.
So what if you are at the North Pole and its at the time of the Solstice?
