Understanding Moon Data
Moon illumination (brightness percentage) is the same worldwide at any given time — it's determined by the Sun-Moon-Earth geometry. What changes by location is when the moon is visible (moonrise/moonset times), how high it appears in your sky, and local weather conditions affecting visibility.
