The moon is essentially a big, dead world of rocks. It makes no light by itself.

The moon is brightly lit by the light from our Sun. This reflected light from the moon is so bright because the moon has a high 'albedo', or ability to reflect light

Certain moons around other planets have such a low albedo that they are next to invisible.
