What else can I help you with?
What is the moon called when it is fully illuminated?
Full Moon...When The Side Of The Moon We See Is Fully Lit.
What is the phase when you can see the entire moon lit up from earth?
Full moon
What percentage of the Moon is lit?
The moon is ALWAYS 50% (+/-) illuminated. Though we only see all of the half lit side when the moon is opposite the sun (Full Moon).
How much of the moon reflects the light of the sun?
All of the moon reflects light, but what is visible from earth depends on the moon cycle and the location of the observer. A full moon means the whole side of the moon we see is lit, and the lit portion continues to trail off until the New Moon, which reflects almost no light at all back to earth. We should also note that half the moon is lit up at all times, except during eclipses. It is just that from earth, we see the moon go through phases.
Why can we sometimes only see only part of the moon lit up?
We can sometimes see only part of the Moon lit up due to its phases, which are determined by the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. As the Moon orbits Earth, different portions of its surface are illuminated by sunlight, resulting in phases such as new moon, crescent, first quarter, gibbous, and full moon. The angle at which sunlight strikes the Moon also affects how much of it appears lit from our perspective on Earth.

Full moon
What phase is it when you see the entire lit side?
Full moon
When you see the entire daylit half of the moon it is a new moon?
No. When you see the whole sun-lit side, you call it a "Full Moon".
What percentage of the Moon is lit?
The moon is ALWAYS 50% (+/-) illuminated. Though we only see all of the half lit side when the moon is opposite the sun (Full Moon).
When you see the moon is full moon?
You can see the moon when it is not full. The sun lights up part of the moon, but if you look carefully when the moon is not full, you can see the darker parts. This is easier when only a small part of the moon appears to be lit, as a brighter moon glares out the darker part making it harder to see.
If you see quarter moon where the right side is lit would you expect that the moon will soon be full or new?

What is a full earth?
A full earth is the same as a full moon. It's when you see the entire planet from space lit up by the sun.

Is the crescent moon brighter than the full moon?
From our perspective, it is not brighter. It is mostly the far side of the moon that is lit up, and it is bright there, but we cannot see it.
What is the moon phase when you can see the entire moon on the sky at night?
The moon phase when you can see the entire moon illuminated in the night sky is called a full moon. It occurs when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, causing the entire face of the moon to be lit by sunlight.
