The moon is a source of light?

Answer 1

Yes, but it is not a "direct source" of its light. The Moon, like the Earth, is illuminated by the light of the Sun. The moonlight that we see is simply the part of the sunlight that is reflected by the lunar surface. This is easily seen by the phases of the Moon, when only part of the Moon's lighted surface is visible from Earth, and we cannot see the non-illuminated portion.

During an eclipse of the Moon, the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, so very little light makes it to the Moon.

When there is a new moon phase, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, so we cannot see any of the illuminated part of the Moon.

Answer 2

The moon isn't a light source.

We can see the moon at night because the moon reflects light from the sun.

Answer 3

The moon does not produce its own light; it reflects sunlight. Sunlight hits the surface of the moon, and the reflected light is what we see as moonlight here on Earth.
