The Moon reflects the light of the Sun; it produces no light of its own. What's really amazing is how MUCH light the Moon reflects - considering that the "albedo", or reflectivity of the Moon is about the same as a charcoal briquette. It only reflects about 3% of the light that hits it - but the Sun's light is so enormously bright that 3% is almost enough to light up the night sky.
It reflects light from the sun.
The moon seems to shine at night, because it reflects the light given off by the sun. We can not see the moon's reflection during the day, because the sun light is too bright, but, at night, the moon reflects the light given off by the sun and we can see it.
The moon doesn't shine as bright as the sun because it does not produce its own light like the sun. The moon reflects sunlight, and its surface is not as reflective as the sun's surface. Additionally, the distance between the sun and moon affects the brightness we perceive from each celestial body.
The sun's gravitational pull causes the moon to orbit around the Earth, resulting in the moon's phases as we see from Earth. The sun also illuminates the moon, causing it to appear bright in the sky as it reflects sunlight.

No.
What allows the moon shine is the reflection of the sun.
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.
Yes, the Moon receives light from the Sun which causes it to shine and appear bright in our night sky. This phenomenon is what creates the phases of the Moon as it orbits around the Earth.
Yes because if the sun didn't shine it won't be bright
The moon shines white because it reflects sunlight. The sun's light hits the moon's surface and bounces off, making it appear bright in the night sky.
