There would be no moonlight because all light comes from the sun, and although it may seem as if other things project light themselves they are really reflecting the sun's light.
Without light from the sun, there would be no moonlight. But, without the moon, there would be no moonlight, too.So, the answer is that moonlight occurs when sun reflects off the surface of the moon.It's kind of like the question of which came first--the chicken or the egg. In this case, though, it can reasonably be said that moonlight originates with the sun; thus, it is caused by the sun.
It is not moonlight it is the moon reflecting the sun's light

moonlight is the sun's light reflecting off the moon and beaming toward earth.
Light from the sun is reflected by the moon, creating 'moonlight'
Even at full moon, we get roughly a million times less power from the Moon, compared to the Sun. The power thus produced would be insignificant for most practical purposes. It would be possible in theory to harness the moonlight, but not practical.
The sun reflecting off the moon's small dimples.
The noun 'moonlight' is a common, uncountable, concrete noun; word for the sunlight from the sun reflected to earth from the moon; a word for a thing.
