50% of its surface at all times. But which 50% keeps changing.
How much of the moon is always lit?
Half the Moon is always lit, unless the Moon is eclipsed by the Earth.
How much of the moon reflects the light of the sun?
All of the moon reflects light, but what is visible from earth depends on the moon cycle and the location of the observer. A full moon means the whole side of the moon we see is lit, and the lit portion continues to trail off until the New Moon, which reflects almost no light at all back to earth. We should also note that half the moon is lit up at all times, except during eclipses. It is just that from earth, we see the moon go through phases.
What percent of the moon is lit by the sun at any time how can you tell?
Roughly half of the moon is lit by the sun at all times. The moon revolves around the earth so we only see the part of the moon that actually faces the sun, which is how the moon has phases.
