The Moon does not _cause_ light; it generates none of its own. The Moon simply reflects a little (a VERY little!) of the light of the Sun that hits it.
The Moon is about the same color as a charcoal briquette, and reflects about the same percentage of light; around 4%. The Moon only looks bright when we see it at night because the rest of the sky is so dark, and because the Sun itself is so very bright.

What gives daily light?
Moon / Sun?
Does the light of the moon cause a physical shadow?
A shadow is caused when there is less light or no light in an area. An object can block the light and thereby cause a shadow. If the light reflecting off the moon is a source of light, objects blocking this light can cause a shadow.
Why do we feel light on the moon?
Cause the gravitational pull is less great on the moon.
What planet block the light from moon?
No planet blocks the light from the moon. The moon's phases are caused by the position of the moon relative to Earth and the Sun. At times, the Earth's shadow can cause a lunar eclipse, but this is not a planet blocking the moon's light.
What cause the illumination of the Moon's surface?
It reflects the light of the sun.
Why are the mountains of the moon jagged?
Because the moon has no light, atmosphere, and clouds to cause weathering or erosion.
What cause the moon phases to change?
the way the sun light hits it during the rotation of the moon
What cause the earth to experience high and low tides daily?
The earth's rotation and the proximity of the moon (and the sun to a lesser degree) cause high and low tides each day.
What causes the phrases of earths moon?
Several factors cause the phases of the moon. The "light" side of the moon is light because light from the sun reflects off of it. (Interestingly enough, because of the way the moon revolves on its axis and revolves around the earth, the same side is light at all times.) The side that faces the sun is always light. As the moon revolves around the earth, the angle at which we see the moon changes, so we see different parts of the moon. This causes phases.

What cause the moon to change it's appearance throughout the lunar cycle?
The reason is because the moon's light comes from the reflection of light from the sun, so when the moon rotates around the Earth the angle that the sun's light hits the moon changes, so sometimes the moon will reflect less some times more, and sometimes none, like a New Moon.
Why don't we see the moon very well during the day?
The Earth's atmosphere and the light from the Sun can cause you to not see the moon during the daytime.
