How much light does Triton the moon have?
it gets about 25% of the light from the sun
Why are there new phases of the moon each night?
The phases of the moon are determined by how much of the moon we can see from earth. The amount of the moon we see is determined by how much of the suns light is reflected from it back to us. As the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun the amount of light that gets bounced back from moon changes because of its different possitions.
Why does the moon reflected so much light?

Does the moon come out in daylight?
YES!!! However, by comparison with night time it is much fainter. This is because Sun lights is much brighter. You see the Moon because it is reflecting Sun light. In the day time the Moon's shape will be crescent.
Why is the light of the moon not as hot as the sun's light?
The moon does not radiate any heat or light of its own, it merely reflects the sun's heat and light. But since the moon is many times smaller than the sun, it only receives a small fraction of the heat and light -- and much less when it is in the shadow of the earth. However, most of the heat and light striking the moon is absorbed by the moon itself, or is reflected into space, thus there's very little reflected back to earth.

Is there actually a dark side of the moon?

How a full moon produces so much light at night?
The moon doesn't produce any light. The moon reflects light from the sun. As the earths shadow moves across the surface of the moon to show more surface of the moon is call Waxing means there is more reflective properties to reflect the sunlight which makes the moon appear to be brighter. As the moon gets smaller or waning less light gets reflected hense it appears darker. Has nothing to do with the supernatural or occult and everything to do with common sense and logic.
