Is the light on Mars greater or less than on the Moon?
If you are referring to the albedo or the natural light that is emitted from an object then the answer is the Moon. The Moon's albedo is .12, while the albedo of Mars is .15. Basically, this means that Mars is brighter, however we see the moon as being brighter because we are much closer to the moon than to mars. Alternatively, if you are asking which has more sunlight falling on it, the answer is the Moon. Mars is further from the Sun than the Moon, so there is less sunlight falling on each square inch of the Mars than on the Moon.
