Well, isn't that a lovely question! The moon's light actually comes from the Sun - it reflects sunlight back to us here on Earth. Isn't that just marvelous to think about, how the Sun and the moon work together to bring us that gentle light in the night?

When light comes from the sun does it shine straight on Jupiter and its moons or does it shine on Jupiter then from there the light reflects to Jupiter's moons?

It shines directly on both Jupiter and its moons. There is no reason it shouldn't, as, other than periodic eclipses from Jupiter, nothing blocks the sunlight from reaching those moons. The moons do get some reflected light from Jupiter as well, just as Earth gets some light from our moon.

If a planet has 62 moons would it be dark or light?

it depends if its near a sun. remember, MOONS AND PLANETS ARE NOT LIGHT SOURCES. they simply reflect the suns light. therefore, if they are not near enough to a sun, the moons would be dark, as would the planet, cos there is hardly any light to reflect. (oh and there is no known planet with 62 moons.)
