How much of the moon gets light from the sun at all times?
It depends how much part of earth is in between sun and moon blocking sun's light as the moon is a sphere and earth's shadow causes it to look like being changing its shape.
Why does the moon reflected so much light?
The moon reflects so much light because the moon reflect the light of the sun. The amount of light on the moon that is showing is directly related to the position to the moon. (From Answers.com)
What produces the light they give off?
The moon doesn't shine by itself. The light from the sun is reflected off it. A bit like a mirror about with a less reflective surface. If the moon were covered in ice for example, much more light would be reflected due to the albedo of ice. Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, has one of the highest known albedos of any body in the Solar system, with 99% of EM radiation reflected. Another notable high-albedo body is Eris, with an albedo of 0.96 Our moon how is around is around 0.12, which is why the reflection does not give off too much light.
Why moon light does not twinkle?
Moonlight does not twinkle because it is reflected sunlight, so it is a steady source of light. Twinkling of stars occurs due to the light passing through different layers of the Earth's atmosphere, causing it to refract and flicker. Since the moon is much closer to Earth, its light does not undergo the same atmospheric distortion.
Why do Sea areas of the moon appear dark because they to not reflect as much light as what ranges?
The dark areas on the Moon, known as maria, appear dark because they are ancient basaltic plains that formed from volcanic activity. These regions do not reflect as much light as the surrounding highland areas, which are composed of brighter materials like anorthosite. This difference in composition causes the maria to appear darker.

What part gives off light?
The moon, itself doesn't so much "give off light" as it reflects light from the sun. On those occasions the moon is positioned between the sun and the earth, we get an eclipse as the moon is blocking the sun for a short period of time.

Why does the Moon's appearance keep changing?
because the light on the moon is reflected by the earth so when the earth is not facing on the moon there is not that much light
How do satellites give light to the planets during nightime?
Sunlight is reflected off the surface of a moon, and can come back to the planet it is in orbit around. You can see our moon during the day because of this. At night our moon still reflects a similar amount of light, but as it's much darker, the light appears to be greater in contrast.

Is the moon an Electromagnet?
No, the moon is not an electromagnet. It does not generate its own magnetic field like some planets do, such as Earth. The moon's magnetic field is much weaker and is thought to be remnants of its early history.
What determines how much moon you see on a clear night?
The moon doesn't get it's own light the sun reflexes on the moon so basically the sun brightens the moon for light. :)
What if the moon is bigger than the earth?
there will much light
What causes the apparent changes of the moon's shape?
The variations in how much reflected sunlight we see as the Moon orbits Earth.
What causes the apparent repeated changes of the Moon's shape?
The variations in how much reflected sunlight we see as the Moon orbits Earth.
How does the moon cause phases?
The moon causes the sea to cycle through tides by tugging the water into sort of an oblong circle and spinning it around the earth. The Sun causes the moon to change "phases" much as it causes the Earth to change days. The moon just turns much slower than the Earth and ends up never actually turning its "face" away from us.
