The moon is not shining body because it does not release light of its own. In our solar system, only the Sun is a "shining body." The Moon shines by the reflected light of the Sun.

The moon is always the same size it may appear bigger because more of the sun's light is shining on it, but no the moon does not "grow" or "shrink".
Planet Shining was created on 2000-06-27.

The Earth spinning around it's own axis and the sun shining on one side of the planet, the moon is out on the other.
The moon doesn't shine, the sun's light reflects off the moon to us so really the sun is shining at night, not the moon.
