As viewed from Earth, we never see the complete bottom half of the Moon illuminated. Due to the position of the Moon in relation to the Sun, the angle of the Lunar terminator, which is the line between the dark and bright parts as we see it, does change. So sometimes more of the lower half is lit than the upper half. There isn't a particular name for that.

What else can I help you with?
What is it called when half the moon is lit up?
It is called "first quarter" or "last quarter" when the moon is exactly half-lit.
How much of the moon are you seeing when it appears half lit?
When the moon appears half lit, you are seeing exactly half of its surface. Half of the moon is illuminated by the sun, while the other half is in shadow. This phase is known as the first quarter when the moon is waxing, and the third quarter when the moon is waning.
What is the term for the lit shape of the moon?
The general term for the visible lit part of the moon is "the phase of the moon." The visible lit portion can have a crescent shape, a gibbous shape or a "half-moon" (half circle) shape.
How much of the moon is always lit?
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.
A week after the new Moon we see half the moons face lit up it looks like a semi circle this phase is called what?
A week after the new Moon, when half of the Moon's face is illuminated, it is called the First Quarter phase. During this phase, the Moon appears as a semi-circle, with the right half lit up in the Northern Hemisphere. This occurs as the Moon moves in its orbit and more of its surface becomes visible from Earth.
What is it called when half the moon is lit up?
It is called "first quarter" or "last quarter" when the moon is exactly half-lit.
A week after a full moon the moon looks like a semi circle again what is this called?
About a week after the full moon, the moon is called the last quarter moon and it's "face" appears to be half lit. More than half lit is a gibbous and less than half lit is a crescent.
What phase is the moon in if over half of it is lit?
Your life is appaling.
How much of the moon are you seeing when it appears half lit?
When the moon appears half lit, you are seeing exactly half of its surface. Half of the moon is illuminated by the sun, while the other half is in shadow. This phase is known as the first quarter when the moon is waxing, and the third quarter when the moon is waning.
What is the term for the lit shape of the moon?
The general term for the visible lit part of the moon is "the phase of the moon." The visible lit portion can have a crescent shape, a gibbous shape or a "half-moon" (half circle) shape.
When less than half of the moon is lit?
It is called a crescent, and if it is growing, it's called a waxing crescent, otherwise, it's a waning crescent. So, when less than half is facing the earth, it is called a Waning Cresent
The half of the moon that is lit by sunlight is?
Visible
How much of the moon is always lit?
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.
Is half the moon lighted up by the sun?
yes half the moon is lit up by the sun
Why can you not see the half of the moon that is lit during a waning gibbous?
you can't see the half of the moon that is lit during a waning gibbous because of the position that the moon is in relation to the sun and earth.
Is half of the moon always lit?
Half of the moon is always lit by the Sun, but we may not always see that illuminated half from Earth due to our perspective. This is why we observe different phases of the moon as it orbits around Earth.
What is a third for quarter?
Half of the moon is lit up.
