Why can't you see a lighted moon at one stage in the lunar cycle?
One half of the moon, the side that faces the Sun, is always lighted. But we usually see only part of the lighted side (phases) as the Moon orbits the Earth. When the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun (a new moon) none of the lighted side, facing the Sun, is visible from Earth.

The moon is said to be waning when less and less of the side facing Earth is lighted. :D
Is it proper to say the lighted side of the moon?
No, the correct way to say it is: "The light side of the moon"
What phenomenon is caused when a person on earth cannot see all of the fully lighted side of the moon?
This is what causes the so-called "phases" of the moon: although fully half of the moon is lighted, we can only see part of the lighted part. A person on earth hardly ever sees all of the lighted side of the moon. When he does, he calls the sight a "full moon."
