If you took a round object liken unto a basketball and sat in a dark room, would the basketball give out light. correct. the answer is no. If you took the same basketball and sat in a room and held a flashlight under the basketball, would the basketball give out light on the other side. correct. the answer is no. now, if you took the flashlight and held it above the basketball approxmiately 6 inches above, does the basketball now have light. and the farther away you hold the flashlight above the basketball the more light will shine upon the flashlight. Question. Where did the flashlight get its light from. correct. the flashlight. the moon gets it light from the sun. The moon reflects the light that is provided from the sun and the basketball reflects the light that is provided from the flashlight.
