The moon gets energy from the sun the same way that all the other bodies in the solar system get energy of the sun. The radiation fro the sun hits it. The reason people say the moon does not give off its own light is because the light we see is the light that is shining on the moon from the sun. The sunlight is hitting that part of the moon, so we can see it, the same way we can see things when sunlight hits them on the Earth.

What is the different energy source between the sun and the moon?

The energy of the sun comes from nuclear fusion occurring in the sun's core. The moon does not have an internal energy source. What little energy falls on it comes from the sun.


Is the moon heated by the sun?

The moon is mainly heated by the sun. But the moon has sunlight pretty much because it reflects off the sun. The sun is its own source of energy/light which comes from Nucleur Fusion. As the energy travels out from the surface of the sun it cools until then the Moon is preserved as Light. So Yes the moon is heated by the sun

Can you get energy from the moon?

No, you cannot directly get energy from the moon. The moon does not produce its own energy source like the sun does through nuclear fusion. However, we can harness energy indirectly from the moon through tidal power generation.


What is the main source of energy that reaches Earth volcano lightning Sun or Moon?

Sun.


Is the moon the chief source of radiant energy?

No. The light we receive from the moon is reflected energy from the sun. The moon has very little radiant energy. All bodies above absolute zero radiate some energy, in the case of the moon it is a very small amount.


Why doesn t the height of the moon in our sky affect the temperature - like with the height of the sun at midday?

It does - but the energy is so small (compared to the sun) that it takes crazy instruments to measure it.
