Yes it does. It couldn't shine without the sun reflecting off of it.
When the full moon rises, the sun has already set on the opposite side of the Earth. The sun is no longer directly illuminating the moon, but its light is still reflecting off the moon's surface, creating the full moon's brightness.
The sun produces its own light when it transforms hydrogen into helium. The moon gets its light from the sun. It doesn't produce light. The brightness that we see on the moon is a reflection of the sunlight.
The sun provides about 400,000 times more light than the full moon. This vast difference in brightness is due to the sun being a powerful star that emits its own light, while the moon only reflects light from the sun.
In terms of actual brightness the stars are much brighter than the moon and some are even brighter than the sun. They only appear dim because they are much farther away than either the sun or the moon.
When the Moon moves away from between the Sun and Earth, a solar eclipse ends, and the full brightness of the Sun is no longer obscured. The Moon's movement allows sunlight to be fully visible again from Earth, ending the eclipse phenomenon.
Yes, the brightness of the moon is the sun reflecting light off of the moon's surface so te sun reaches the moon.
the moon shines because the brightness of the sun is so bright that it reflects off of the moon as if the moon was a mirror
Right in front of the Sun. The brightness of the Sun makes it difficult to see the Moon.
In the same way we see brightness from the Moon as a result of the Sun shining on it, you would see brightness on the Earth from the Moon when the Sun is shining on it. You would not be able to see normal lights, like street lights, from the Moon.
No. The brightness of the moon is caused by the sun shining on it, just like the brightness of a beach, a snowdrift, a mountainside, or a lake, none of which travels around the earth.

sun is a star and moon is an natural satellite no comparison between powers of them being a star sun creates lots and lots of energy through fisson reaction ,but moon is just a mass which revolves around the earth .its gets its brightness from sun.
to use ur eyes wow really -.-..... Light emitted by the Sun is reflected to Earth by the Moon's surface.
The phases of the moon are the earth's shadow on it relative to the position of the sun. When the moon is full there is no shadow and reflects the full brightness of the sun. More info: http://www.calculatorcat.com/moon_phases/moon_phases.phtml
On the side of the moon that the sun is shining on, the temperature reaches 260°Fahrenheit! That is hotter than boiling. On the dark side of the moon, it gets very cold, -280° Fahrenheit. The moon is about 2,000 miles across.
