the sun is on the other side of earth reflecting the sunlight to the moon!
Because, wherever you are at that time, it is only nighttime for there. The sun is shining onto the other side of the Earth. At the same time some of its rays are hitting the Moon, having passed by the Earth.
Sunlight reflects off the moon's surface, enabling it to appear bright in the sky. This reflected sunlight is what allows us to see the moon at night.
The appearance of the moon changes from night to night because different parts of the moon are illuminated by sunlight, from the perspective of the viewer here on Earth. The moon itself is not changing, it remains the same.
You can see the moon at night because it reflects light from the sun. Even though the sun has set and it is dark on Earth, the moon's surface still reflects enough sunlight to be visible in the night sky.
The moon reflects sunlight, giving it its luminous appearance in the night sky.
That's a "Full Moon".
In alignment with the earth and sun.
When the side of the moon that faces Earth (the same side of the moon always faces Earth) is fully bathed in sunlight. The Moon experiences day and night cycles, but it takes 28 days for the moon to complete a day/night cycle because of the Moon's relatively slow spin (which is what keeps the same side of the Moon facing Earth).

The sun does not shine in the night. The full moon reflects sunlight to the Earth at night.
Yes, that's why we see the moon at night.

The light form the moon is sunlight reflected from the moon's surface when sunlight fall onto it. Thus while you are in the Earth's shadow (night time) the moon is not. :)
The people of Lagash refer to night as "the great shadow," associating darkness with fear and the unknown due to their world being constantly bathed in sunlight.
