What produces moonlight?

Answer 1

the light from the sun reflects to the moon :D

~

It's light colour and reflective sand reflects the light from the sun. When the moon is full, the side facing earth is lit up. When it is a crescent, only part of the moon's lit surface is facing the earth and it appears to only be a crescent while, in fact, the moon is still there. It's just too dark to see against the darkness of space.

The sand on the moon has a different consistency to that on the earth; in other words it's more like shredded up mirror bits rather than rich soil.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

it is about how the sun is positioned. the sun's light reflects off of the moon and that's how the moon gets the glowing effect. that is also where the solar and lunar eclipse comes in. the lunar eclipse is when you cannot see the moon because the sun is directly behind the earth and solar eclipse is where the sun is blocked by the moon.

Answer 4

moonlight is the reflection of the light from the sun

Answer 5

The moon doesn't exactly "light up", but it reflects light off of the moon.

Answer 6

Moonlight is sunlight reflected from the moon towards the Earth. The moon produces no light of its own.

Answer 7

The Earth's shadow when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.

Answer 8

Moonlight is reflected sunlight. The moon does not produce its own light, but instead reflects the light from the sun, which is why the moon appears to glow in the night sky.
