No. Anything we see on the moon is illuminated by the sun. When you see the moon as a thin crescent, the entire moon is still there, but you see only the part upon which the sun is shining. You see nothing of the part of the moon that has no direct line of sight from the sun, because nothing on that part of the moon's surface is creating its own light.

∙ 15y agoThis can be answered a number of ways. 1. No, You would be dead. Without the Sun all life on Earth would cease to exist. 2. No. If the Sun never existed, neither would the solar system, so no Moon to see. 3. No. If the Sun came to the end of it's life, the Earth and the Moon would have been engulfed by the Sun when it became a Red Giant. 4. No. If you were on another planet orbiting around another Star, the Moon and all the planets would not be visible as there would be no light to reflect. So the answer is No.

∙ 14y agoYes and No... Assuming one could travel to the moon on their own merit in the first place, there is no atmosphere and therefore no oxygen on the moon to help a fire burn in the open lunar environment. A fire could however be lit in an enclosed space on the moon (such as the spacecraft you got there in), but that's highly not recommended (if you wanted to return to earth that is).

A flashlight will work on the moon.
It's very cold there in the dark and very hot in the sunlight, but as long as the batteries work and the bulb doesn't break, the flashlight will work.
If your question means "Can you shine a flashlight from the earth to the moon?", then the answer is no.
The moon is very far away. Farther away than anything on the earth.
The light from a flashlight isn't strong enough to go more than a few miles.
It can't even shine from New York to Florida.
The light from a flashlight certainly isn't strong enough to reach the moon.
There are lights that are strong enough to reach the moon, but these are laser lights.
NASA has a laser that they shine on the moon every day to measure the distance between the earth and the moon.

∙ 13y agoNo not at all. See the sun, being on the other side, lights up the moon and it reflects right back to us( IF it's night were you are). So no it does not produce light of it's own.

∙ 13y agono, the moon only reflects light from the sun.

∙ 12y agoNo the dust that makes up the moon is highly reflective. The moon is reflecting the light from the sun.

∙ 7y agoNo, Moonlight is all reflected Sunlight.

What moon phase occurs when all of the moon's surface facing Earth reflects light?
Almost all of the earth-facing side of the Moon is a pretty good reflector of light, and it would be reflecting starlight all the time, in all phases of the moon. The answer the author of the question is looking for is, "full moon." That happens when the moon is not in the shadow cast by the Earth.The question should read, "reflects sunlight."
What is the view of the earth from the moon over 28 days?
The Earth would be all the time in the same direction - more or less. It would have about 4 times the apparent diameter the Moon seems to us - about 2 degrees instead of 1/2 degree. You would see the Earth pass through all the phases, similar to the Moon's phases.The Earth would be all the time in the same direction - more or less.

Does the moon give off light or reflect it?
The moon reflects light just as any other object reflects light that falls upon it. Only about 7% of the light from the Sun is reflected off the moon's surface == ==The moon reflects the light from the sun.
Why does half of the moon always receive light from the sun?
Because the Moon is spherical, or nearly so, and light from the Sun shines out in all directions.
When will you have an eclipse?
The earth revolves around the the sun & the moon revoves around the earth.At one time the moon comes between the sun and the earth and they all are in a straight line.at that time moon cuts of the light of sun.This is called solar eclipse. if there is a solar eclipse in one spot one mile from there will be a regular day so where you are needs to be the question of when a solar eclipse is coming
What percentage of the moon receives light at all time?
0% All of the moon receives light only some of the time.
What does the moon have to do with the earth?
it keeps the earth from being LIGHT all the time

Why moon does not have its own light?
The reason that the moon does not give out light of its own is because it is not a gas and is it a solid that does not have the right and material to properaly give off light and it used to be apart of earth and it is not a star AlexShottsanswers.com
How does the moon light up?
The Moon is mainly illuminated by the Sun. All other light sources, like other stars, reflection of light from planets, are negligible.
Does the moon reflect off the sun?
The moon is a heavenly body that orbits our fair earth. The lit section of the moon the we see here on earth is the direct sunlight bouncing off of IT. It is day time on the moon in the LIT section. Imagine what the Earth would look like from space when an astronaut sees both the day and night side at the same time. The darker part of the moon is the section where the moon doesnt quite face the sun. Its nighttime on the moon there. Most of the time, when the moon and sun are in the sky at the same time, you can clearly see the moon. When the moon is too near the sun, around the time of the new moon, it is not visible except of course if there is an eclipse.
Is Earths moon the only moon that reflects light?
No. All moons reflect light.
Without an atmosphere would there be light all the time?
AnswerThe light comes to us from the sun, moon and stars.Without an atmosphere, there would still be light from the sun during daylight hours. The stars are not visible during the daytime because the light from the sun is scattered through the atmosphere and conceals the much fainter light of the stars, so without an atmosphere the stars would be visible both day and night. The moon reflects light to us from the sun, and would continue to do so even without an atmosphere.
We are confused the moon gives light to the sun somehow?
The moon as well as all the other moons and planets do not give off any light. you see the reflected light from the sun. If you were in space looking at the earth with the sun behind you then the earth will look like a nice bright planet (day time) whilst the other side would be in night time and appear dark. So when you see the moon you are looking at it's daytime so to speak.
Do you see the moon because it makes its own light?
No. We see it because it reflects the light of the sun. That is why we don't see the moon as full all the time. As it is orbiting Earth, from our perspective only some of it appears to be bright at times.

What is it when all of the Moon's surface facing earth reflects light?
It's a "Full Moon".
