How does the moon get its own light?

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.

What causes the change in the moon's phases?

imagine being in a dark room and holding up a black ball, which you can't see. then you turn on a flashlight and shine it on the moon. you can see the part of the ball that the flashlight shines on but you can't see the other half. now walk around the ball withought getting in the light's way. when you are behind the ball, you can't see it at all. when you are to the side of the ball, you can see half of it. when you are in front of the ball, you can see the whole thing. the ball represents the moon, the flashlight is the sun, and you are the earth. technicaly the ball should be going around you and not you around the ball, but the same effect will happen. this is how moon phases work.
