Because the moon encounters the direct sun as it rotates around the earth. Viewed from earth the moon can appear as a full moon, half moon, crescent or anything in between. Also as the moon is high in orbit around the earth, the moon can show the reflection of the sun, even though the sun has set below the horizon or has not yet risen.
Obliquely
Clouds, buildings, sun block (cream or lotion applied to the skin). A solar eclipse, the moon blocks the suns rays from striking the Earth. Lunar eclipse, the Earth blocks the suns rays from striking the moon.
Because there is no atmosphere the greenhouse effect does not take place. All of the suns rays are reaching the moon with full power.
Moonlight is simply a reflection of the suns light agaist the surface of the moon. The different phases of the moon is cause by the earth obstrucing the suns rays so they do not come in contact with the moon and cannot be sceane. The phases change in a month in correlation to the orbit of the sun.
The moon has reflective soil on its surface so when the earths shadow falls on it the suns rays don't reach the surface so making the moon shrink or grow

That would be a lunar eclipse.
the sun rays strike the surface at different angles as earth travel around the sun
