Earthlight is actually sunlight that is reflected back into space from the earth - in the same way that moonlight is the sun's light reflected from the moon.

Why can you not see the dark half of the moon?

You often CAN see the "dark side of the Moon". It's easiest to do around the first quarter Moon or a day or two before that. The Sun shining on the Moon causes the Moon to reflect light, and we call this "moonlight". But if you were on the Moon and looking at the Earth, you could see the Earth by reflected sunlight, which we would call "earthlight". When we look at the first quarter Moon, we can often see the dark side of the Moon illuminated very slightly by reflected earthlight!

Which moon phase occurs approximately 14 days after a full moon?

New moon occurs about 14 days after full Moon. This is when the night side of the Moon is turned towards us so it is largely invisible (unless reflected Earthlight is strong.)


How much of the whole moon are you seeing when half of the moon appear to be lit?

You can often see the entire "near side" of the Moon, because even though the sunlit half is very bright, the other part is dimly lit by reflected Earthlight. However, the official answer to your question is probably "one quarter". You can only see one-half of the Moon, and only half of that is lit up by the Sun.
