How much of the moon is lit up at all times?
One hemisphere is always lit except when the moon is occulted by the earth.

At any given moment, only 50% of the moon is exposed to sunlight (just like the earth), assuming there is no lunar eclipse ocurring. However, over the course of a month, the entire lunar surface will be exposed to sunlight.
How much of the moon is visible at one time?
Ah, the moon is a mysterious piece of nature indeed! You see, we can normally see about half of the moon at any given time from Earth. As our friend the moon dances through its phases, sometimes showing its full, round face, and other times playing hide and seek with just a sliver of itself peeking through the darkness.

Why can only some of the moon be seen at one time?
Half of the moon is always lit up by the sun at any given time, and the moon orbits the Earth so us observers on Earth will see different amounts of the moon lit up. These different "shapes" we see are called the phases of the moon.
How much of the moon can we see from Earth?
Hello, friend! When we look up at the moon from Earth, we can usually see about 59% of it due to something magical called "synchronous rotation," where the moon rotates on its axis the same rate it orbits the Earth. Isn't that just a happy little scientific fact? So next time you gaze up at that big beautiful moon, know that you're seeing most of its lovely face looking back down at you.
