The moon's light is really reflected from the sunlight that hits the moon.
The Moons itself is an object. The light we see from it is reflected light.
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.

The sun does because it's light reflects off the moon. The more light reflected the bigger the shape. The less light reflected, the smaller the shape.
It shines directly on both Jupiter and its moons. There is no reason it shouldn't, as, other than periodic eclipses from Jupiter, nothing blocks the sunlight from reaching those moons. The moons do get some reflected light from Jupiter as well, just as Earth gets some light from our moon.
The source of light in outer space varies. Light can be reflected off from the stars, moons, comets, asteroids and planets.
No, the moon's stages have everything to do with light reflected from the sun and nothing to do with it's actual size or degree of gravitational pull.
The moonlight we see at night is actually sunlight reflected off the surface of the moon. The moon does not produce its own light; rather, it reflects the light from the sun, making it visible to us on Earth.
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
No. Planets and moons reflect light.
The light comes from the reflection of the suns light off their surface. It may seem like there is not enough light to make them shine so much, but compared to the night sky, there is enough reflected light off their surfaces for us to see detail in the moon and planets.
