How much of the moon is lit at all times?
The amount of the moon that is illuminated by the sun varies as the moon orbits Earth. At any given time, half of the moon is lit by the sun, but we can see different portions of this lit side from Earth depending on the moon's position in its orbit.
What percent of the moon is lit by the sun?
Approximately half of the moon is illuminated by the sun at any given time, which corresponds to 50%. This is because the moon goes through phases as it orbits the Earth, with the amount of sunlight it reflects varying depending on its position relative to the Earth and the sun.
What is a gibbous moon?
The phase of the Moon during which more than half, but less than all, of the visible hemisphere of the Moon is illuminated by sunlight. A gibbous moon is between a full moon and a half moon, or between a half moon and a full moon. There can be two gibbous moons: waxing and waning. " A gibbous moon is one of the phases of the Moon when the size of the illuminated portion is greater than half but not a full Moon. The period between a first quarter moon and a full moon is known as a waxing gibbous moon, because the illuminated region of the Moon is increasing from day to day. After it becomes a full moon, but hasn't reached the last quarter, the Moon is called a waning gibbous moon."
Why you see 50 percent of the moon?
Over time you can see about 56% of the lunar surface from the Earth, this is because the (almost) spherical Moon "wobbles" while orbiting the Earth and so we eventually can see a little more than the half that is facing us at any given time.
