What else can I help you with?
How much of the moon is lit when you see the full moon?
You see about 50% of the moon because we are only really seeing half of it because it is a sphere.
What is a half moon?
A half moon is a lunar phase where half of the moon's visible surface is illuminated by the sun. This occurs when the moon is positioned at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the sun. Half moons are also known as the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, depending on which side is illuminated.
Why does the Earth appears almost as small from the Moon as the Moon does from the Earth?
I dont think so; Earth would appear to be bigger from moon compared to what Moon appears to be from Earth The earth's diameter is 3.67 times the moon's diameter. As seen from the moon, the earth appears 3.67 times as large in the sky as the moon appears from earth.
Why the half moon is heavier than full moon?
The moon is the moon. How much of the illuminated portion we can see from Earth is completely irrelevant to its mass.
How much of the moon is always in the dark?
The moon is always half dark. The half facing the sun is light, the other half is dark.However, during a lunar eclipse, the moon would be temporarily all dark since it is in the shadow of the earth.
How much of the whole moon are you seeing when half of the moon appear to be lit?
You can often see the entire "near side" of the Moon, because even though the sunlit half is very bright, the other part is dimly lit by reflected Earthlight. However, the official answer to your question is probably "one quarter". You can only see one-half of the Moon, and only half of that is lit up by the Sun.

Does the half moon weigh more than the full moon?
No. they weigh the same. The terminology of a half moon refers to how much of the moon can be seen.
How much of the sun is facing the sun from the sun?
Half. The Moon is roughly spherical; half of the Moon is in the light, and the other half is dark.
How much of the moon is illuminated by the sun at each position as the Moon's orbits earth?
Half (50 percent) of the moon is illuminated by the sun at all times, just as half of earth is always illuminated.The thing that changes is: How much of the moon's illuminated half can we see from earth ?
Why does the moon appear to be larger than the planets?
The moon appears much larger than the planets because it is closer.
Why the half moon is heavier than full moon?

During the first quarter phase how much of the appears illuminated?
it is one half
How much of the moon is always in the dark?
