...is always experiencing its day time, and is always fully lit unless it is eclipsed by its planet or another moon.

What are some characteristics of a full moon?
At a full moon, 100% of the visible surface of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun. Half of the Moon is always illuminated by the Sun, and half of the Moon is visible from Earth. But they're not usually the same half. At a full moon, they are. This happens when the Sun, Earth and Moon are approximately lined up in the sky. If the alignment is exact, we'll have a lunar eclipse because the Moon will pass through the Earth's shadow, which is the only time that less than half of the Moon is lit up.
What fraction of the moon is lit?
Half of the moon is always lit. Due to it's position in relation to the sun and the earth, we see a different moon every night.

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).
What amount of the Moon's surface that is aways bright?
I would say that half of the moon is always illuminated (the half that faces the sun) but because of the moon's angle and positioning in comparison to the sun and Earth, we can only see a certain amount of it each night.The moon has one face wich always faces the earth. As it goes around the earth, there is always some area (almost half of it) which faces away from the sun and is therefore dark. None is always bright.

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.
