Not really it is just a reflection from the sun.
It is a reflection of the sun.
The moon does not give out it's own light. The moon is actually reflecting the sun's light to earth.
The moon reflects the sun's light back to Earth. It cannot produce its own light.
The total eclipse of the Sun by the Earth's Moon still leaves a corona of light, and the other visible stars shine just as brightly.
The Moon reflects the light of the Sun.
If the moon is not blocked by the earth it will shine. Why? Because stray light rays bounce off the surface of the moon. It looks like the moon is giving off its own light, but no.
The moon does not shine of itself. What we see is when the sun is shining on the moon and it is illuminated. So the moon is reflecting light towards us. If you were on the moon, and the sun was shining on the part of earth that was facing you, the earth would appear to be shining. The other planets that we see that appear to shine, are also just being lit up by the sun.
The moon reflects some of the sun's light, causing it to shine.
the sun, the moon, and the earth have to be in a straight line. The light from the sun will shine onto the moon and it will will block the sun's light from a small spot on the earth.
It reflects light from the sun
The light form the moon is sunlight reflected from the moon's surface when sunlight fall onto it. Thus while you are in the Earth's shadow (night time) the moon is not. :)
The moon and planets reflect sunlight, they do not produce light.
