Would night be pitch black without the moon?
No. The stars would still provide light, although a great deal less than the Moon. In many urban and industrial areas, the "light pollution" from homes, industries, and street lights provide a lot of reflected artificial light.
Does a full moon cause cooler temperatures?
No. The phase of the moon has no relationship to the temperature here in Earth at all. However, the fact that you can see the full moon tells us that it is night time, and that the sky is clear. Clear skies at night do allow the Earth's heat to radiate away into outer space. Moonlight subjectively feels colder, because we naturally associate light with heat, and the Moon's light gives no heat. So you may FEEL colder when you're outside seeing a full moon.
Which night is brighter with moon or no moon?
With the moon. The sun is actually bouncing light off of the moon to get to the earth, that's why the moon tends to look like it "glows". So with that light, the night would be brighter with the moon

Why does the earth not lose its heat as quickly at night as the moon does?
no you answer it

yes stars produce light in the night like the moon. and the sun produces light and heat for the morning
Which is hotter the earth or the moon?
The moon is lighted by the sun on the other side of the earth during night, and the moon has no core, meaning that the Earth is hotter as it isnt projected heat or light.

How the moon lights the earth at night?
The Moon is a big ball of dusty rock; it doesn't provide any light of its own. But even though the Moon only reflects about 5% of the sunlight that hits it, the size of the Moon means that it reflects enough light to see.

Why is the light of moon not as hot as the sun 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.
