∙ 13y agoPhotosynthesis usually uses sunlight (although artificial light also works) to drive the chemical synthesis. Therefore blocking out the light would stop that process.

Why do we get moonlight?
It is sunlight reflected from the moon's surface onto the earth.
What is mainly responsible for the unequal heating of earth's surface?
The angle at which the sunlight strikes the Earth

lunar eclispse
Where did the lunar eclipse happen?
Just like all others ever since, it happened on the surface of the moon, where the sun became invisible for a few hours when the earth blocked it from view.
Does the moon gets more light from the sun than the earth does?
Since the moon does not have an atmosphere, the sunlight that reaches the surface of the moon is more intense than the sunlight that reaches the surface of the Earth after passing through the Earth's atmosphere.
