What is a non-liminous body?
A body which is not liminous, of course. Now, you just have to figure our what "liminous" is. I suggest the OED, Earth's nearest equivalent to the Maximegalon Dictionary, as it's certainly not a common word (except as a misspelling for "luminous").
How much of the Moon's surface is illuminated by the sun at any time regardless of how much of that light can be seen from earth?
At any given time, one half of the Moon's surface is illuminated by the sun, just like on Earth. The portion of the Moon's illuminated side that we can see from Earth depends on its position in its orbit around our planet.
Is 100 percent of the moon being illuminated during the full moon?
No. Only half of the moon is illuminated at any one time. During a full moon, the half facing Earth is fully illuminated.
When is virtually the whole Earth illuminated in a 24-hour day?
Never.Half of the Earth is illuminated by the sun,and the other half is getting no direct sun.This statement holds for any moment in time, 24 / 7 / 3651/4 .

Why is the moon illuminated?
The moon is illuminated because it reflects light from the Sun. This phenomenon is visible to us on Earth depending on the position of the moon in relation to the Sun and the Earth. Different phases of the moon result from how much of the illuminated side we can see from Earth.
How is earths moon like earth?
Like the Earth, the Moon is a sphere which is always half illuminated by the Sun, but as the Moon orbits the Earth we get to see more or less of the illuminated half.
How much of the moon is illuminated by the sun at each position as the Moon's orbits earth?
Half (50 percent) of the moon is illuminated by the sun at all times, just as half of earth is always illuminated.The thing that changes is: How much of the moon's illuminated half can we see from earth ?
Does a gibbous moon appears more than half illuminated to people on earth?
Yes. A gibbous moon is a three-quarter moon.
How can you see the moon at night?
It is illuminated by the Sun, just as Earth is.
What portion of the moon is always illuminated?
Half of the Moon, just like Earth and the other planets, is more or less illuminated all the time. The half that is illuminated is the half that faces the Sun. The illuminated half continually changes as the Moon orbits and revolves. The exception is when the Earth gets between the Moon and the Sun, shading the Moon. (an eclipse).
How much of the Moon's surface is illuminated by the sun at any time regardless of how much of that light can be seen from earth?
At any given time, one half of the Moon's surface is illuminated by the sun, just like on Earth. The portion of the Moon's illuminated side that we can see from Earth depends on its position in its orbit around our planet.
How much of the total surface of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun when it is at quarter phase?
The moon's surface is always half illuminated. We on Earth see 0 to 100% illumination of the side that faces use, depending on what phase the moon is at. Quarter phases, first and last, are half illuminated when seen from Earth.
What is the minimum percent of the moon that needs to be illuminated in order for the phase to be called gibbous?
A "gibbous" Moon has between 51% and 99% of the illuminated side of the Moon visible from Earth. Just to be precise; the Moon is always 50% illuminated. The Moon is a rocky ball, half in sunlight and half in darkness. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the same face of the Moon is always visible. From the Earth, we see "phases" of the Moon as the Moon orbits the Earth. At the new moon phase, the illuminated half of the Moon is the "far side" of the Moon; at the full, the illuminated half is the "near side".
How much of the moon is illuminated by the sun at each position as the moon orbits earth?
Half (50 percent) of the moon is illuminated by the sun at all times, just as half of earth is always illuminated.The thing that changes is: How much of the moon's illuminated half can we see from earth ?
Is 100 percent of the moon being illuminated during the full moon?
No. Only half of the moon is illuminated at any one time. During a full moon, the half facing Earth is fully illuminated.
