how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.
Whether it not an eclipse is occurring.
Sunlight
It depends on what phase the moon is in. You can see anything from nothing, a sliver, to a full circle.
The phase of the moon depends on it position in relation to the earth and the sun. For instance, when the moon is in between the earth and the sun, this is the new of full moon phase.
In the new Moon phase.
no, it depends on where you are

We see the full moon {the phase}.
In the new Moon phase.
The phases of the moon are dependant on the relative positions of the sun, moon and earth. It's the angle between the view-lines to the sun and the moon, with you at the vertex of the angle. The phase of the moon you see depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces earth.

It depends on when you're talking about. The moon moves about the earth constantly, which means we see different areas at different times. The "phases" are caused by our own shadow falling across the moon and shading different parts of it, so which phase the moon is in depends on what day it is.
