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.


Does the moon give light to the earth?
