The moon doesn't generate light on its own, but the moon does reflect light very well. When we see the moon in the sky, we are seeing the sunlight shining onto the moon and reflecting off its surface. You are seeing what is in fact the moon's daytime illumination. The part of the moon that appears dark is experiencing lunar night time. You would see the same kind of thing if your were on the moon observing the earth.
What else can I help you with?
Is moon a source of light?
No, the moon does not emit its own light. Instead, it reflects light from the sun, which is why the moon appears to light up the night sky. This phenomenon is what allows us to see the moon from Earth.
Why do we see the moon?
We see the moon because it reflects the sun's light.
What is the source of light you see from the moon?
The light we see from the moon is actually sunlight that is reflected off the lunar surface. The moon does not produce its own light.
The moon is a source of light?
Yes, but it is not a "direct source" of its light. The Moon, like the Earth, is illuminated by the light of the Sun. The moonlight that we see is simply the part of the sunlight that is reflected by the lunar surface. This is easily seen by the phases of the Moon, when only part of the Moon's lighted surface is visible from Earth, and we cannot see the non-illuminated portion.During an eclipse of the Moon, the Earth is directly between the Sun and the Moon, so very little light makes it to the Moon.When there is a new moon phase, the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth, so we cannot see any of the illuminated part of the Moon.
Why can you see the moon even though it does not emit its own light?
The moon reflects light from the sun, making it visible to us on Earth. This reflected light allows us to see the moon in the night sky even though it does not emit its own light.
Is moon a source of light?
No, the moon does not emit its own light. Instead, it reflects light from the sun, which is why the moon appears to light up the night sky. This phenomenon is what allows us to see the moon from Earth.
Why can't I see the stars when I can see the moon?
Sometimes the brightness of the light from the moon drowns out the star's light.
Why do we see the moon?
We see the moon because it reflects the sun's light.
What is the source of light you see from the moon?
The light we see from the moon is actually sunlight that is reflected off the lunar surface. The moon does not produce its own light.
Why do you see moon in day light also?
The moon reflects the light from the sun.
Is there light on the earths moon?
Yes there is. If there was not light on the moon we wouldn't be able to see it.
How is SUNLIGHT related to the light you see from your moon?
The moon reflects the sun's light.
Is there light on the moon?
Yes, there is light on the moon. The moon reflects sunlight, which is why we can see it shining in the night sky.
Does moon give off its own light?
No. The Moon has no light emitting energy. The light we see from the Moon is nothing more than reflected light from the Sun. This is why we see different shapes of the Moon as it goes through its cycle of phases. We see the moon from different angles as it moves relative to the sun.
How can you see the moon even though it does not light up?
Well, the sun's light shines on the moon making the moon more visible. It creates barely any light, though. The phases of the moon are the parts of the moon that we can see the sun shining on.
Why are we able to see the moon?
We are able to see the moon because the sun's light reflects off of it. We are able to see only the part that is reflecting the light.
How does the moon get light?
The moon does not produce its own light. It reflects light from the sun, which is why we see it shining in the night sky.
