Well, isn't that just a delightful question to ponder? You see, the moon shines at night because it reflects the light from the sun. It's like a magical dance between the sun and the moon, creating this lovely natural nightlight for us all to enjoy. Remember, the simple wonders of our world are always there to comfort and inspire us.
