The shining of the moon at night is the reflection of the sun bouncing off the surface of the moon. That is why we on Earth can see the moon appear as shining.

For me:

At day time when the sun heats the moon, the moon become hot by the energy absorbed and for anything that is hot it radiates light to some extent somehow our eyes can only receive light for wave length about 400 nm to 700 nm, and that light radiated from moon has low intensity from light radiated from the sun, we cannot see moon light at day time. At night, we can easily see the moon light since no longer exist light from the sun. Therefor, anything when it is being heated, it radiates light eventually. And for this, certainly, we can store the sun light at day time and use it at the night time, don't you think so?

Why do planets and the moons shine brightly if they do not produce light?

The light comes from the reflection of the suns light off their surface. It may seem like there is not enough light to make them shine so much, but compared to the night sky, there is enough reflected light off their surfaces for us to see detail in the moon and planets.

No. It shines because it is reflecting light from the sun.


What causes the moon to shine at night?

The moon does not produce its own light; it reflects sunlight. The amount of illuminated surface visible from the Earth changes due to the moon's orbit around our planet, creating the appearance of different moon phases.


Why can the moon shine?

Why does the moon appears to shine in the night sky?

The moon appears to shine in the night sky because it reflects sunlight. As the moon orbits the Earth, the Sun's light hits its surface and bounces back towards us, making it look like it's glowing. The amount of light we see on the moon changes throughout its phases, depending on its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun.
