the moon is made up of very fine dust and particles. and lots of minerals. when the moon is in between the earth and the sun, we have a 'new moon'. when it the earth is in between the sun and the moon, we have a 'full moon'. the light that we see from the moon is actually sunlight, reflecting off the surface of the moon. and the reason the moon only appears to have one side, and we never see the other, is that the moon rotates at the same speed that it orbits, showing only one side to the planet.
