the whole moon . half apperes lit, but u can still the whole thing.
When the moon appears half lit, you are seeing exactly half of its surface. Half of the moon is illuminated by the sun, while the other half is in shadow. This phase is known as the first quarter when the moon is waxing, and the third quarter when the moon is waning.
When you see a full moon, the entire face of the Moon that is visible from Earth is lit by the Sun, so 100% of the Moon's face is illuminated.
A half moon is a lunar phase where half of the moon's visible surface is illuminated by the sun. This occurs when the moon is positioned at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the sun. Half moons are also known as the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, depending on which side is illuminated.
It appears this way because the Moon is much smaller than the Earth, but also much closer. This perspective creates the illusion that they are similar in size when viewed from their respective positions.
The moon is the moon. How much of the illuminated portion we can see from Earth is completely irrelevant to its mass.
The moon is always half dark. The half facing the sun is light, the other half is dark.However, during a lunar eclipse, the moon would be temporarily all dark since it is in the shadow of the earth.

You can often see the entire "near side" of the Moon, because even though the sunlit half is very bright, the other part is dimly lit by reflected Earthlight. However, the official answer to your question is probably "one quarter". You can only see one-half of the Moon, and only half of that is lit up by the Sun.

No. they weigh the same. The terminology of a half moon refers to how much of the moon can be seen.
Half. The Moon is roughly spherical; half of the Moon is in the light, and the other half is dark.
The amount of the moon illuminated by the sun changes as the moon orbits the Earth. This change in illumination is what causes the phases of the moon. At certain points, the moon is fully illuminated (full moon), and at others, it is completely dark (new moon). The varying degrees of illumination in between mark the different phases of the moon.
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 ?
The moon appears much larger than the planets because it is closer.
About half of the moon is always lit by the sun. This is because only one half of the moon is visible from Earth at any given time. The amount of light that can be seen from Earth reflects different phases of the moon as it orbits.

it is one half
