Best Answer

The surface of the moon is covered with a very fine powdery layer of dust that is composed of a lot of glass and crushed rocks. The glass came from the intense heat generated by the impact of countless asteroids and meteroids. As brilliant as the moon is, the astronauts who travelled there found that the earth reflects much more of the sun's light than the moon. It's not that the moon lacks brilliance, it's just not as bright as the earth.
