Yes. The moon is a reflector, meaning it reflects light, and in this case, it reflects light from the sun towards the earth, thus making it look like it produces its own light. However, only half of the moon is illuminated by the sun, meaning that the "dark" side of the moon is always dark. also, tre reason we only see one side of the moon is because the moon rotates in unison to the earth, thus only allowing us to see one side.
