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.
The moon rotates on it's axis within the same period of time the moon orbits the earth, therefore only the "near side" of the moon can be seen from Earth. Technically the moon's "year" and the moon's "day" are equal length.
0% All of the moon receives light only some of the time.
No, the full moon can only be seen in one hemisphere at a time due to the position of the Earth and the moon relative to the observer. When it is a full moon in the northern hemisphere, it is a new moon in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa.
there's not just one time - depending on where you are on Earth, you can see a full moon once every month, at the beginning of each lunar phase.
No, the moon orbits the earth there for it is on the other side of the earth at day and visible at night. you can only see the moon when your side of the earth is facing it and some light from the sun is reflecting from it.
A solar eclipse can only occur at the time of New Moon. When it happens, it can only be seen by people in places where it is daytime at the moment. A lunar eclipse can only occur at the time of Full Moon. When it happens, it can only be seen by people in places where it is night-time.
The Moon is only up about half the time; you may be looking up when the Moon is already set, or not yet up, or new.

The moon can only be seen at night because the sun's rays reflect off of it's surface. But during the day, the moon is much more dull than the sky and the sun by comparison.
The moon can be seen somewhere in the sky, at some time, on 27 or 28 days out of every 30 .

Dinner time.
One man is only capable of seeing one side of the moon at a time, and only astronauts have seen the side that faces away from Earth.
yes you can see the moon in Australia when the sun and moon can be seen in America !!!! its crazzy !
Seriously, have you ever looked? I see it during the day time all the time. Okay, not literally all the time, but the Moon can be seen almost every clear day if you know where and when to look. The only time it can't be seen either in the morning or afternoon is at the new or full phases.

The Moon Is Seen At Night From Earth because, When The Sky Is Dark, So Is The Atmosphere, And The Moon Is Very Bright Compared To The Black Atmosphere, Same Reason The Earth Is Seen From The Moon. :)
