Because the sun is shining on it.
Just like all of the objects in a dark room, you can't see them unless you shine a
flashlight on them. The flashlight that makes it possible for us to see anything in
the solar system is the sun.
reflected
Planets and moons do not produce their own light. They shine brightly because they reflect sunlight. The reflection of sunlight off their surfaces is what makes them visible and appear to shine in the night sky.
The Moon, Sun and planets all appear in a strip of sky called the ecliptic. It is a plane defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun is always on the ecliptic, while the Moon and planets stay close to it.
The moon shines by reflecting sunlight, just like any other object in the solar system. Planets shine by reflecting sunlight or producing their own light, such as in the case of Venus, which has a thick atmosphere that reflects sunlight.
The Moon appears bright at night because it reflects sunlight. Planets appear bright due to the reflection of sunlight off their surfaces, as well as their own internal heat that emits light. Additionally, planets are much closer to Earth than stars, making them appear brighter in the night sky.
The moon and planets reflect sunlight, they do not produce light.
The moon does not shine of itself. What we see is when the sun is shining on the moon and it is illuminated. So the moon is reflecting light towards us. If you were on the moon, and the sun was shining on the part of earth that was facing you, the earth would appear to be shining. The other planets that we see that appear to shine, are also just being lit up by the sun.

SUN A DOY for light
The moon appears much larger than the planets because it is closer.
The Moon, Sun and planets all appear in a strip of sky called the ecliptic. It is a plane defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun is always on the ecliptic, while the Moon and planets stay close to it.
Other planets appear shiny from Earth for the same reason the moon does, we see the other planets' reflected sunlight.
The moon shines by reflecting sunlight, just like any other object in the solar system. Planets shine by reflecting sunlight or producing their own light, such as in the case of Venus, which has a thick atmosphere that reflects sunlight.
Sunlight hitting the planets' surface reflex back to earth. Just like you can see the moon shine at night

The moon shines because it reflects light from the sun. Sunlight hits the surface of the moon, and the reflective properties of the moon's surface cause it to shine and appear bright in our night sky.
