Which Moon phase reflects the most light?
As we see it, it is the full Moon. However, at any time, the Sun is shining on a full side of the moon, so the same amount of light is reflected, but less light is reflected towards us. How much daylight and darkness there is, also affects how much light appears to be reflected from the Moon as we see it. So when the Moon is visible before the Sun sets, it doesn't look as bright as it does after the Sun sets.

How a full moon produces so much light at night?
The moon doesn't produce any light. The moon reflects light from the sun.

As the moon gets smaller or waning less light gets reflected hense it appears darker. Has nothing to do with the supernatural or occult and everything to do with common sense and logic.
Size of the illuminated portion of planet or moon?
The size of the illuminated portion of a planet or moon can vary depending on its position relative to the light source, typically the sun. The illuminated portion represents the side facing the light source, while the unilluminated portion is in shadow. This distribution of light and shadow creates phases for the object, such as the lunar phases of the Moon.
Percentage of light reflected by the moon is known as?

Does the far side of the Moon receive any light?

What causes the moon not to receive any sunlight?
The earth fully eclipsing the sun as viewed from the moon. Even then the moon would still receive starlight and some light will bend around the earth so it wouldn't be 100% pitch black.

What causes the phases of the moon that is visible to earth?
The moon's phases are caused by the earth blocking the light from sun and casting a shadow on the moon. we are between the moon and the sun entirely at a new a new moon and we are not blocking any sun light at full moon.
