The half of the moon that points toward the Sun looks bright because it is lit by sunlight. The moon appears to change shape because we see different amounts of the lit part as the moon orbits Earth. When the moon is between Earth and the Sun, the lit side is hidden from you.

What would be the reason that someone’s eye color would change from blue to green when they were a child?
Butoxors [25]
Your eyes don’t change color, they only reflect the colours around them in particular if they are light coloured eyes. My eyes are blue-grey with a green heterachromia. They are very sensitive to light and dust so they get red easily which makes the eye color appear a brighter blue. If I wear green, the appear more green in color, when I am sunburned they appear more turquoise, etc. But when I wear white or don’t have a shirt on, they look their true blue-grey.
