When light hits any kind of matter, the light can be reflected or absorbed, or the light can pass right through. Very few kinds of matter are entirely transparent, so light is generally either reflected or absorbed.
Light will be reflected from almost ANY matter that is not absolutely flat "matte" black. Even a 2% or 3% reflectivity or "albedo" will make the object visible, and the surface of the Moon is about 12% reflective. Because so much sunlight hits the Moon, even a 12% reflectivity makes the Moon "shine" quite brightly.
What else can I help you with?
Why does moon reflect the light of sun to earth?
because moon is a illumines object .it can't make light on its own.so the light from the sun will be reflected to the moon in night times

What things in space reflect light?
Planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and dust particles are examples of objects in space that reflect light. These objects reflect light either from the Sun or from other nearby sources, making them visible to observers on Earth or with telescopes in space.
Does the sun and moon emit light?
the sun only emit light. not the moon. it will reflect the light of the sun.
How does the light from the sun reflect to the moon?
It doesn't reflect, it goes straight there.
Does the moon reflect the light of the sun?
Yes.
Why moon and planets shine and produce light?
The moon and planets reflect sunlight, they do not produce light.
Is Earths moon the only moon that reflects light?
No, many moons in our solar system reflect light from the Sun. Moons like Europa, Ganymede, and Titan also reflect sunlight, just like Earth's moon.
