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.
