There are two phases of half moon, known as first quarter and third quarter. At first quarter, the Moon is one quarter of its journey around Earth, measured from new moon. If you look straight at a first quarter half moon, the Sun should be about 90° to your right, and you would see it in the evening. At third quarter, the Moon is three quarters of its journey around Earth, measured from new moon. If you look straight at a third quarter half moon, the Sun should be about 90° to your left , and you would see it in the early hours of the morning. We don't see that as often, as we are more likely to be in bed. If you look carefully and the conditions are right, you will see half moons during daylight.

The Moon orbits around Earth, and its position between the Sun and Earth is dependent on its orbit.

This alignment can result in phenomena like solar and lunar eclipses.

What blocks the moon when it is half a moon?
The object that blocks the moon when there is a half moon is the moon itself. The moon is a sphere, so only one half of it can be sunlit at any moment. The other half is dark just because the sun is below the horizon for that half of the moon. And when we see a half moon, we are simply looking at the moon just as the line of sunrise/sunset cuts across the moon's diameter.
