What is the moon phase that occurs after a new moon and only half of the lighted side can be seen?
This is the first quarter phase. The moon looks half lit, half in shadow, but you actually can only see one quarter of the moons surface at this point (during a full moon, you would only be able to see half of the moons surface - the half that faces us).
When earth is facing the sun?
The Earth ALWAYS faces the Sun. However, the Earth rotates. So one half of the Earth is in sunlight (Day time) and the other half of the Earth is in darkness (night time). We always face the Sun, because we , the Earth, is held there in its orbit about the Sun , because of Sun/Earth gravity.
The half of a moon that faces the sun is always?
...is always experiencing its day time, and is always fully lit unless it is eclipsed by its planet or another moon.I don't believe that there are any moons in our solar system that are tidally locked with the sun. In other words, moons do not have faces that are permanently oriented toward the sun.
Do The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from Earth?
Yes. There is always (except during certain eclipses) half of the moon illuminated. However, there is no 'dark side of the moon' per se. The same part of the moon is always facing the earth, but the part that is lighted changes by the minute, just as it does on Earth.
Waxing moon phase in which one half of the moons lighted side can be seen from Earth?
The waxing moon phase is when the moon is transitioning from new moon to full moon, and the illuminated portion of the moon is growing larger each night. During this phase, we can see more than half of the moon's lighted side from Earth.
Is half of the moon always lighted because it faces the sun?
Yes, half of the moon is always facing the sun. We only see different phases because of the angle at which we view it throughout every month..EXCEPT DURING A LUNAR ECLIPSE!

Why can't you see a lighted moon at one stage in the lunar cycle?
One half of the moon, the side that faces the Sun, is always lighted. But we usually see only part of the lighted side (phases) as the Moon orbits the Earth. When the Moon is directly between the Earth and the Sun (a new moon) none of the lighted side, facing the Sun, is visible from Earth.
What is the phase of the moon that happens when the lighted half faces away from earth?

Why does the same side of the moon always face the earthy?
The Moon always faces the same side because its gravity with Earth makes it pull around us. When you see half of the Moon its because of the way Earth is rotating or how the Moon is positioned.
Why can not see the dark half of the moon?
Because it never faces the Earth.
