The lighted part of the Earth is experiencing daytime. Depending on the specific location, it could be morning, afternoon, or evening. The position of the sun determines whether it is early, mid, or late day in that region.
Some globes, especially computerized electronic globe diagrams show day/night with the day part (sunlight) lighted, and the night part darker.
When the lighted part of the moon grows it is a "waxing moon".

The moon is said to be waning, when the lighted part gets smaller. When it gets larger, the moon is waxing.

The part of the globe that is lighted is determined by the position of the Sun relative to the Earth. During daylight, the half of the Earth facing the Sun is illuminated, while the opposite side is in darkness. This results in a continuous cycle of day and night as the Earth rotates on its axis. The specific regions experiencing daylight change throughout the day and are influenced by the Earth's tilt and orbit around the Sun.
waxing
This is what causes the so-called "phases" of the moon: although fully half of the moon is lighted, we can only see part of the lighted part. A person on earth hardly ever sees all of the lighted side of the moon. When he does, he calls the sight a "full moon."
Albedo
Not exactly. The lighted side of the moon as seen from Earth is that part that is not shadowed by the Earth.
