The half of a moon that faces the sun is always?
...is always experiencing its day time, and is always fully lit unless it is eclipsed by its planet or another moon.I don't believe that there are any moons in our solar system that are tidally locked with the sun. In other words, moons do not have faces that are permanently oriented toward the sun.
How many numbers of moons are on the sun?

How much of the moon are lit up by the sun?
50% of its surface at all times. But which 50% keeps changing.
What percentage of the Moon is lit?
The moon is ALWAYS 50% (+/-) illuminated. Though we only see all of the half lit side when the moon is opposite the sun (Full Moon).
Why do planets and moons seem to appear shiny?
They reflect light from the sun back to observers on earth, unlike the stars, which emit their own light. Everything in our solar system is `lit up` by our sun, which emits light. The planets and moons (along with comets and other objects) don't emit light themselves, but are illuminated by the sun.
