Does the moon provide heat and light at night?
The moon lights up at night because it reflects light given off by the sun. It does not make its own light or heat
Why is the light of the moon not as hot as the sun's light?
The moon does not radiate any heat or light of its own, it merely reflects the sun's heat and light. But since the moon is many times smaller than the sun, it only receives a small fraction of the heat and light -- and much less when it is in the shadow of the earth. However, most of the heat and light striking the moon is absorbed by the moon itself, or is reflected into space, thus there's very little reflected back to earth.
Do the earth and moon make their own light and heat?
