The moon lights up because it reflects the sunlight towards the earth. When a side of the moon is shaded in means that this part is not lit up by sunlight
The moon does.The sun only lights up half the moon (the side of the moon the sun is on). The other half of the moon is dark, because the sun's light is blocked by the moon itself.
Every star, including the sun, is brighter than the moon. In fact, you can't see the moon at all unless a star shines on it and lights it up.
Unlike a lamp or our sun, the moon doesn't produce its own light. Moonlight is actually sunlight that shines on the moon and bounces off.
Click on the lights
The answer depends on where you live and how much light pollution there is. In areas with few artificial lights (street lights, house lights) then if the moon's not visible then it will be dark, if the moon AND the stars arent visible (like due to clouds) then it will be darker, still. In cities, clouds usually reflect the light from street lights back down to the earth so depending on how much your city/town is lit up, it might actually be brighter on a cloudy night!
why does the moon look like it lights up but it doesn t is it because it sun set
New moon
Nothing is happening on the moon when it lights up. The moon is illuminated by the sun, but only the half that faces the sun.

The Sun lights the Moon.
The sun is the big flashlight that lights up everything it can reach. The earth is the thing that gets in the way of the flashlight, & can darken the moon if the moon passes through its shadow.
You can see the moon when it is not full. The sun lights up part of the moon, but if you look carefully when the moon is not full, you can see the darker parts. This is easier when only a small part of the moon appears to be lit, as a brighter moon glares out the darker part making it harder to see.
The moon travels in front of the sun out in space so it appears the moon lights up bt really its still the sun
