The moon shines because it reflects sunlight. When sunlight hits the moon's surface, some of that light bounces back to Earth. The moon does not produce its own light; instead, it acts as a mirror, allowing us to see it illuminated in the night sky. The varying phases of the moon occur as different portions of its surface are lit by the sun.
