What is the different energy source between the sun and the moon?

The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion occurring in the sun's core.
The moon does not have an internal energy source. What little energy falls on it comes from the sun.

Is the moon the chief source of radiant energy?
No. The light we receive from the moon is reflected energy from the sun. The moon has very little radiant energy. All bodies above absolute zero radiate some energy, in the case of the moon it is a very small amount.
How does the distance between a light source and an object affect its shadow?
the moon
The moon is a source of light?
Yes, but it is not a "direct source" of its light. The Moon, like the Earth, is illuminated by the light of the Sun. The moonlight that we see is simply the part of the sunlight that is reflected by the lunar surface. This is easily seen by the phases of the Moon, when only part of the Moon's lighted surface is visible from Earth, and we cannot see the non-illuminated portion.During an eclipse of the Moon, the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, so very little light makes it to the Moon.When there is a new moon phase, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, so we cannot see any of the illuminated part of the Moon.
Is the moon your life source?
No. While the moon plays an essential role to life on Earth, it is not the source of it.
Is moon a source of light?
The moon's light is reflected from the sun, so the moon itself is not a source of light. The light you see is light hitting the moon from the sun.
Is the moon a source of solar energy?
No, it is not source of any energy as it is a planet not a star.
What is the source of energy causing the wave?
the source of energy causing the wave is vibration.
What is the Moon's source of heat energy?
The sun!
How is light from a hot source different to light from a cool source?
When hear energy is converted to loght energy it is called hot source of light (sun light). when light source is produced from (generally reflected light, moon light) a cooler object.
Is moons gravitational pull renewable?
The moon's gravitational pull is the source of a renewable energy source. The moon controls the tides, that is where we get tidal energy. We often convert this into electricity.
Is it true that the moon is the primary energy source for weather events?
NO
Does the moon have gravitational potential energy?
The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects. Thus, there is a gravitational potential energy between Earth and Moon, or between a rock that you lift up on the Moon, and the Moon.The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects.

Why is the moon described as a mirror not a light source?
The Moon reflects the Sun's light, it has no energy of its own to create light.
What naturally occurring source of energy are we not yet able to harness and use?
Electricity is the naturally occurring source of energy that we are yet not able to harness and use.
What is the main source of energy that reaches Earth volcano lightning Sun or Moon?
Sun.
How does the distance between a light source and an object affect its shadow?
the moon
