Half of the Earth at a time.
The amount of the moon that is illuminated by the sun varies as the moon orbits Earth. At any given time, half of the moon is lit by the sun, but we can see different portions of this lit side from Earth depending on the moon's position in its orbit.
One hemisphere is always lit except when the moon is occulted by the earth.
Approximately 50% of Earth's surface is always lit (daytime) due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis around the sun.
About half of the moon is always lit by the sun. This is because only one half of the moon is visible from Earth at any given time. The amount of light that can be seen from Earth reflects different phases of the moon as it orbits.
Approximately half of the moon is illuminated by the sun at any given time, which corresponds to 50%. This is because the moon goes through phases as it orbits the Earth, with the amount of sunlight it reflects varying depending on its position relative to the Earth and the sun.
Half of the moon is always lit by the sun, unless the sun is eclipsed by the Earth. The portion of the illuminated moon viewed from Earth depends on the moon's orbit. As the moon orbits, different portions of shadow and illumination are seen from Earth, creating the moon's phases.
because the sun is hot and bright

Approximately 50% of Earth is lit by the sun at any given time due to its rotation on its axis. This constant illumination and darkness cycle creates day and night.
The position of the earth and moon on their orbit around the sun, determines how much and what area of the moon is lit by sunlight. The moon's phases are what we can view from the earth.
About half of the moon is always lit by the sun. This is because only one half of the moon is visible from Earth at any given time. The amount of light that can be seen from Earth reflects different phases of the moon as it orbits.
eclipse
the answer is the sun
its obvious when you think about it as the earth spins the side facing the sun is lit up by the sun the side opposite is not facing the sun therefor its night
No. If the moon is between the earth and sun, It cannot possibly be also lit from the sun on the side that is facing the earth!
