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.
What do you call it when the moon is half lit on the left side?
When the moon is half lit on the left side, it is called the "Last Quarter Moon" or "Third Quarter Moon." This phase occurs when the moon has completed three-quarters of its orbit around the Earth, resulting in the left half being illuminated as viewed from Earth.
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.
What is the half moon also called?
The half moon is also called the "first quarter" or "third quarter" moon, depending on its phase. In the first quarter, the right half of the moon is illuminated, while in the third quarter, the left half is lit. This terminology refers to the moon's position in relation to the Earth and the Sun.
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.
What do you call it when the moon is half lit on the left side?
When the moon is half lit on the left side, it is called the "Last Quarter Moon" or "Third Quarter Moon." This phase occurs when the moon has completed three-quarters of its orbit around the Earth, resulting in the left half being illuminated as viewed from Earth.

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
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.
The half of the moon that is lit by sunlight is?
Visible
Is half the moon lighted up by the sun?
yes half the moon is lit up by the sun
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.
