The major sources of light in space are the stars that are actively fusing matter.
Planets and moons shine by reflected sunlight. However, Earth (with its many electric lighting systems) does give off some light of its own, as do the volcanoes on some geologically active moons.

you can only see a planet when something lights it up. For rocks, you can
use a flashlight. For planets, the sun does the job.

What is the source of gravitational pull on the moon?
Planet Earth.
What planet number is the moon?
the moon is not a planet. The moon is a natural satelite that orbits the earth. It has no light but it will emit the sun's light at night.
Is the moon and stars really angles?
No the moon is a piece of the earth that broke off when another planet collided with earth and stayed in orbit with the planet. The moons light is a reflection of the suns light. Stars are gigantic balls of gas that are burning up million, billion light years awhile.
Is earth the only planet that has eclipses?
Earth is the only known planet with a moon of the right size and distance to entirely block the light of the sun, producing a total solar eclipse. Partial solar eclipses (a moon passing between the sun and the planet it orbits) and lunar eclipses (a moon passing into the shadow of the planet it orbits) are commonplace and not limited to Earth.
Is the planet Mercury red or grey?
In natural light, Mercury is grayish, much like the earth's moon.
Which planet is a source of light The earth the moon or the sun a satellite?
The sun is a source of light, but it is not a planet.
How are the sun and moon different?
The sun is a star that is extremely hot and is a source of light for the planet. While the moon is a mass that orbits around earth and reflects light.
What is the source of gravitational pull on the moon?
Planet Earth.

What is the source of the light on earth and on the moon?
The sun
What is an eclispe?
When the moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching Earth, and also when our planet Earth blocks the Sun's light from reaching the moon.
how did the moon landings prove to us that the moon is not a light source?
They proved it when they went to the moon they saw the earth shinning. They then understood that the moon reflects the light from the earth
What planet is closer to the moon?
Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
Is the sun the only light source in the universe?
No, the Sun is not the only light source in the univrse. Every star is it's own light source, just as the sun is, but due to there distance they are not very effective. The Moon also creates a light source, because it reflects the light from the Sun back to earth. In the same way, if we where on the Moon, the Earth would be a light source, reflecting the light from the Sun at the moon.
What planet is closest to the moon?
Earth is the closest planet to the moon and Venus follows as the second closest planet to the moon
What is the closet planet to moon?
The closest planet to the Earth's moon is the Earth.
