The moon is a natural satellite, it is nothing more then a giant rock orbiting the earth. In relation to the sun's solar energy, the moon simply reflects that solar energy which is why the moon appears to glow. Without the sun, the moon would not emit any amount of light or energy.

The word "Lunar" meaning ""about or pertaining to the Moon is the appropriate analogue to the word "solar" as relating to the Sun. Other words are related to mythical names for lunar dieties such as "Selene", the goddess of the Moon. For example, "selenology" as a surrogate for "lunar geology".
