When the moon is completely lit up what is it called?
When the moon is completely lit up, it is called a full moon. This occurs when the Earth is between the sun and the moon, causing the moon's entire sunlit side to be visible from Earth.
The sunlit fraction of the moon that you can see from the earth is getting larger?
This indicates that the moon is waxing, meaning it is transitioning from a new moon to a full moon. As the days progress, more of the moon's sunlit side becomes visible from Earth.
What do you call it when the moon changes its shape?
The apparent change in the sunlit portion of the moon through the month is called waxing (getting larger, from crescent through full) or waning (getting smaller, from full down to crescent).
How does the moon waxes for two weeks then wanes for two weeks?
The moon orbits the Earth and makes a full revolution in a period of about 28 days. Since the moon does not produce it's own light, one side of the moon is always in sunlight at any given time. During the first two weeks of the lunar month (starting from New Moon), more of the sunlit portion can be seen from Earth - this is called "waxing". During the other two weeks, less of the sunlit portion can be seen from Earth and we refer to this as "waning".
What is it called when the sunlit fraction of the moon that we can see from earth gets larger?
It is the waxing phase.
After the full moon you see less and less of the sunlit side?
After the full moon, we see less and less of the sunlit side.

What phase of the moon occurs when all of the moons near side is sunlit?
During the New moon, the lighted side of the Moon is the OTHER side, the side we never see.
What is the LV reading of a full moon?
The same as DLV or Day Light Value! If you want to photograph the sunlit portion of the Moon use the same shutter speed you would use shooting a normal sunlit daytime scene.
