The moon reflects light originally emitted by the sun.
Moonlight is actually reflected light from the sun, not the Earth. The Moon has no light of its own and shines by reflecting sunlight. The Moon's surface reflects varying amounts of sunlight depending on its phase.

Light from the sun is reflected by the moon, creating 'moonlight'
Earthlight is actually sunlight that is reflected back into space from the earth - in the same way that moonlight is the sun's light reflected from the moon.
Moonlight is called "reflected light" because the moon does not produce its own light. Instead, it reflects the light of the sun, which is why the moon appears bright in the night sky. This process is similar to how a mirror reflects light to create a reflection.
The moonlight is simply reflected sunlight - the light from the moon is reflected off the bat - enabling the child to see it.
Yes its does because the moon is reflecting the sun light
No, the Moon generates no light of its own. However, it reflects the light of the Sun, so when you see moonlight you are actually seeing reflected sunlight.(They apparently didn't think about that when they created the vampire legends. If sunlight kills vampires and moonlight is just reflected sunlight, why doesn't moonlight kill vampires, too?)
When the sunlight falls on the surface of the moon, then moon reflect that light towards the surroundings and then this reflected light falls on our eyes and the we say moon is lightning.
Sunlight is the light emitted by the sun, consisting of a full spectrum of colors and is much brighter than moonlight. Moonlight is the light reflected off the surface of the moon, appearing dimmer and having a cooler color temperature compared to sunlight.
if you mean the small shadow, its the penumbra
No. Rainbows are formed by the refraction of light due to water vapour in the atmosphere. While you can have 'moonbows' caused by moonlight (sunlight reflected by the moon), it still requires light + water vapour. Sunlight + moonlight alone, cannot form one.
