When you see a half moon what is the position of the Sun?
When you see a half moon, the position of the Sun is either directly to the right or left of the Moon as viewed from Earth. This is because a half moon occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon form a 90-degree angle, with the Sun illuminating half of the side facing Earth.

Yes, in that case we would see it as a new moon.
When does the sun illuminate half of the moon?

How much of the moon does the sun shine on now?
The sun shines on about half of the moon at any given time, as the moon's side facing the sun is fully illuminated while the side facing away is in shadow. The amount of the moon that is lit by the sun changes as the moon moves in its orbit around the Earth.
Why can't you see the other half of the moon?
The Moon orbits the Earth, while the Earth is orbiting the Sun. Because the Moon is moving, we see it in different positions relative to the Sun; we call this the "phases of the Moon". Only when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun will we see a "full" moon.
Why can't you see a lighted moon at one stage in the lunar cycle?
One half of the moon, the side that faces the Sun, is always lighted. But we usually see only part of the lighted side (phases) as the Moon orbits the Earth. When the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun (a new moon) none of the lighted side, facing the Sun, is visible from Earth.
