The sun does not shine in the night. The full moon reflects sunlight to the Earth at night.

What makes the moon visible at night?
Two things. First and foremost, the sun shining off the lunar surface. We can also see into the dark side of the moon because the earth reflects so much of the sun's light back into space that it lights up the shadows.
What is earths rotation on its axis and the sun shining on the earth creates?

Is the moon going to be bigger than usual tonight?
The moon is always the same size it may appear bigger because more of the sun's light is shining on it, but no the moon does not "grow" or "shrink".

How do you describe the moon shining?
The moon doesn't shine, the sun's light reflects off the moon to us so really the sun is shining at night, not the moon.
Why the light of the moon is not as hot as the sun?
Because the light from the moon is only the reflected light from the sun so when the sun is shining on you it is actually coming down on you but the light shining from the moon is the light from the sun which at night time is on the other side of the world
Is moon a shining body?
The moon is not shining body because it does not release light of its own. In our solar system, only the Sun is a "shining body." The Moon shines by the reflected light of the Sun.
Why are you able to see the moon shining on earth?
The moon's surface reflects the sun's rays back to earth at night making it look like the moon glows.
Why do you see the moon only at night?
Actually, you can see it in the day too, but it's more clearer in the night. Want to know why? Read on! The sun is basically the reason why the moon is clearer at night. As you know, in the day, the sun is shining, and it is so strong that it does not make the moon visible. What I mean is, since the moon has light too, like the sun, it camouflages with the sunlight, or it blends in with the sunlight. When it blends in, you can't see the moon. At night, it's a whole different story. As you know, the sun sets at night, so not a lot of sun is shining on your side of the earth. Sometimes it does shine a little, which makes a crescent moon, and, well, you know. But when there is no sunlight shining, you will see the full moon. Cool, right? Anyway, I hope it helped because you just wasted thirty seconds of my life. Have a wonderful day (Or in this case...Have a wonderful night! [Ooh...Having a little bit of that?])
Why can't we rarely see the moon during the day?
you can't see the moon rarely in the day because the sun is already shining on earth. the moon is just a rock thats reflects light from the sun at night
How do you get phases of the moon?
The Phases of the moon are caused by the sun shining on one side of the moon- the other side is in shadow. When the moon is beside the earth with the sun shining on half of it, you will see a 1/2 full moon.
What percentage of the sun is always shining on the moon?
50% of the sun is always shining on every body in the solar system.
How does the moon shines?
The moon does not shine of itself. What we see is when the sun is shining on the moon and it is illuminated. So the moon is reflecting light towards us. If you were on the moon, and the sun was shining on the part of earth that was facing you, the earth would appear to be shining. The other planets that we see that appear to shine, are also just being lit up by the sun.
Why do you have full moons?
The sun is always shining at the moon. However, sometimes we can only see part of the moon that the sun is shining on. When the sun is behind us and the moon in front of us, we can see all of the part of the moon that the sun is shining on. If the sun is behind us and the moon is to the left or right of us, we can see part of the moon that the sun is shining on and part that it isn't shining on. However, because that part of the moon is so dark, we cant really see it all, so we see a half moon. As the moon orbits the Earth wee see more or less part of it lit up. The moon then seems to disappear altogether, which is because we can't see any part of the moon being lit up. The moon is getting fuller at present, so each night we see a bit more of it lit up. After it is full we will begin to see less of it being lit up.
How can a moon make light?

Why is the moon illuminated?
