Why is the sun shining at the night and why is the moon upset about it?
The sun does not shine in the night. The full moon reflects sunlight to the Earth at night.
How many rings is there on the moon night to night?
That depends on which moon you are talking about. If you are talking about Earth's moon, Luna, it does not have any rings. There is no moon that scientists discovered that has rings.

No, when the Earth is in the middle it's Full Moon and the Moon is up from sunset to sunrise.
What is unusual about the moon Io?
the moon is smaller and has lots more craters than earth does and night lasts longer on the moon
What if the moon did not rotate around earth?
If the moon didn't rotate around the Earth, it would be to dark to see at night and eclipses would not exist!
Does the earth's shadow make night on the moon?
No. It causes and eclipse, so it is darker, but not actually night time. Like on Earth, night on the moon is when the a part of the Moon is not facing the Sun. A solar eclipse on Earth, which is caused by the Moon casting a shadow on Earth, causes darkness, but not night time. A solar eclipse can only happen during day time.
Does the moon have daytime and night time?
Like the Earth, the moon rotates on its axis. This means that the surface of the moon has a sunlit and sunless time. This creats a lunar day and night. The lunar day/night cycle is about 28 Earth days long.

The moon's surface reflects the sun's rays back to earth at night making it look like the moon glows.
Which night is brighter with moon or no moon?
With the moon. The sun is actually bouncing light off of the moon to get to the earth, that's why the moon tends to look like it "glows". So with that light, the night would be brighter with the moon

Does the moon really rise?
The moon revolves around Earth, which makes it seem like it rises, either at day or night.
Does the moon have day and night if so why?
Just like the earth, the moon has a side that faces the sun (day) and a side that faces away from the sun (night). During a full moon, the side of the moon that faces the earth is lit by the sun and appears in daylight whereas the side of the moon that faces away from the earth is in shadow (night). During a new moon, the opposite is true. The side of the moon that faces the earth is in shadow (night) and the side that faces away from the earth is exposed to the sun (day).
Whats Moon's role in forming night on earth?
Well the moon doesn't actully form night on earth. It's the rotation of earth on it's axis that makes day and night.
Why does the earth not lose its heat as quickly as night as the moon does?
This is because the moon is formed of rock and it can become cooler not like Earth surface of 70% water and 30% land.
