It's easy to do a simple experiment to answer that question. Just shine a flashlight
on a tennis ball. No matter how you turn them and twist them, the flashlight always
illuminates 1/2 of the ball ... 50% ... no more and no less.
Since the earth and the moon are both almost exactly ball-shaped, there is always
half of the earth and half of the moon illuminated, and the other half of each in dark.
