Why you see the moon and it appears to change?
Quick answer: Over the course of a lunar cycle, you are observing the lunar day (exactly equal to the length of a lunar cycle of phases) unfolding on the moon's surface. [Some wrongly believe that the changing appearance of the moon has something to do with the earth's shadow on the moon; it does not. The earth's shadow is involved only during a lunar eclipse.]
What percentage of the moon is illuminated during all lunar phases?
Half of the Moon is always illuminated, except during a lunar eclipse. We see phases of the Moon when the half we can see doesn't match the half that's in sunlight.
What is the difference between a lunar eclipse and the moon phases?
Eclipses involve a shadow from one object to another. Moon phases involve the moons own shadow on itself because part of the moon may be in the shade so we can't see it. During a full moon we see all of the moon lit up by the sun.

What causes half of the moon cycle to happen?
Every month as the Moon cycles through its phases it appears to change shape. The Moon always has the same spherical shape, but stargazers on Earth see different fractions of the dark and illuminated portions of the Moon as the Moon orbits Earth. The common urban myth that Earth's shadow falling on the Mooncauses lunar phases is incorrect.
When half of the moon faces the sun what do you see on earth?
Half of the moon always faces the sun unless its a lunar eclipse and there are moon phases so what we see can change Iqskirby
