What determines how much moon you see on a clear night?
The moon doesn't get it's own light the sun reflexes on the moon so basically the sun brightens the moon for light. :)
Why are you able to see the many changing shapes of the moon?
It's because the angle between the moon, Sun and Earth change, so we see a different portion of the lit side of the moon every night.
Why we see the moon at night?
We see the moon during the day, too. The reason we can see the moon is because it is large and close to Earth. As such, it reflects a portion of the sunlight which lands upon it down toward our planet. The angle of the sun upon the moon's surface, as seen from the Earth, is also what's responsible for the phases of the moon.
What phase of the moon is it when you see the moon getting half full and gettin fuller?
When the moon appears as a half-illuminated disk, and the illuminated portion is growing from one night to the next,the phase is known as "first quarter".

Why do you see the moon every night?
The moon is not always visible at night. If the moon is in conjunction with the sun, it will be a "new moon" and will be very hard to see. Waning crescent moons cannot be seen at night, only in the morning.
