Well, the sun's light shines on the moon making the moon more visible. It creates barely any light, though. The phases of the moon are the parts of the moon that we can see the sun shining on.
The moon reflects light from the sun, making it visible to us on Earth. This reflected light allows us to see the moon in the night sky even though it does not emit its own light.
Like the moon, they reflect light from the sun.
They reflect sunlight towards Earth.
We can see the Moon very faintly during this phase because, even though there is no Sun's light reflecting from the Moon, there is a small amount of light reflecting off Earth to the Moon. This 'Earthshine' is barely seen as a reflection from the Moon here on Earth.
The Moon is a big ball of dusty rock; it doesn't provide any light of its own. But even though the Moon only reflects about 5% of the sunlight that hits it, the size of the Moon means that it reflects enough light to see.
You can see the moon at night because it reflects light from the sun. Even though the sun has set and it is dark on Earth, the moon's surface still reflects enough sunlight to be visible in the night sky.
A telescope? Or in different terms the atmosphere is clear enough at night?
yes it does the moon doesnt even produce its own light its from the sun
Light bounces off of the ball and into your eyes.
Even though it "seems safe" because the sun is blocked by the moon, the UV Light that you can't see can still cause retina damage.

No, the moon does not emit its own light. Instead, it reflects light from the sun, which is why the moon appears to light up the night sky. This phenomenon is what allows us to see the moon from Earth.
