No, moon is not a light source, if we consider the moon as a light source, the mirror will also be called a source of light!!!! Every object seen by reflecting light from another object is called a non luminous body. As mirror, book, cup are not light sources, moon is not also a light source because it just reflect the light from the sun.

∙ 12y agoAccording the Random House Webster's unabridged dictionary, the word "artificial" has two different meanings that produce two different answers to this question. "Artificial" can mean
1. made by human skill; produced by humans as in "artificial flowers"
2. imitation; simulated; sham: artificial vanilla flavoring
Therefore:
Yes,the moon is an artificial source of light because it does not give out its own light.
No, because the light from the moon is natural rather than something made by human skill such as a flashlight.

∙ 12y agoNo, it's not a source. It just reflects the sun's light. The moons surface is mostly silicon or glass like and very reflective. So the moon is a source of reflected light but not a direct source like the sun.
