Half of the Moon is always visible from Earth, and the Moon rotates once per orbit KEEPING the same face turned toward the Earth always.
Half of the Moon is in sunlight (and the other half is dark) but the sunlit and dark parts change; one "day" on the Moon lasts 14.5 days, and one "night" on the Moon is also 14.5 days. When the entire near side of the Moon is in sunlight, the Moon is full.

Why is the angle of rays of sunlight important in determining the amount of energy collected by the earth?
The angle of the rays of sunlight is important in determining the amount of energy collected by the earth. More direct sunlight means more energy received.
Day and night happen because of?
It happens because the Earth rotates. So at any time, half of the Earth is facing the Sun, so it is bright and day time there and the other half is facing away from the Sun so it is dark and night time. As the Earth continues to rotate, parts that were facing the Sun are soon facing away from it and the parts facing away from it are now facing it, so everywhere gets day and night.
The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
What is it when the moon blocks sunlight from reaching the earth?
a Lunar Eclipse

What is it called when the side of the moon facing earth receives no sun light?
When the side of the moon facing the earth receives no sunlight it is called a new moon
How nighttime and daytime relates with the sun?
because when the sun is facing one side of the Earth it is daytime when there is no sunlight facing the other half of the Earth it is nighttime.
When does full moon happens?
When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).

What is the phrase when you see the entire side of the moon facing the earth?
The side of the moon we see is properly called the "near side" as we always see this face. The other side, facing away from the earth, is the "far side". As different regions of the moon see sunlight as it orbits the earth, it is usually incorrect to call any side the "dark side"
How are full moons made?
A full moon occurs when the moon is at an angle which allows the entire area facing the observer to reflect sunlight. All other phases occur because the earth is casting a shadow on the moon.
How can the moon be bathed in sunlight when it is night time for us?
Because, wherever you are at that time, it is only nighttime for there. The sun is shining onto the other side of the Earth. At the same time some of its rays are hitting the Moon, having passed by the Earth.

Is there day and night on the planet Uranus?
Yes, the side of the planet facing the sun would get some sunlight; the side facing away from the sun would be dark. The sunlight side would not be nearly as bright as it is on Earth and Uranus is considerably farther from the sun than the Earth.
