How are rocks from the Highland and Maria areas of the Moon different?
The Lunar Highland rocks reflective and anothositic in composition, while the Lunar Maria are less reflective and basaltic in composition.
Why can the moon shine?
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.
Is it safe to look at a bright moon?
The moon does not generate light; it reflects the sun's light, but only a tiny fraction of light. So, as a reflective body, it's safe to look at a bright moon all you want.
Where does Moon's reflective light come from?
The Moon's light is actually sunlight that is reflected off its surface. Despite appearing to emit light on its own, the Moon does not produce any light of its own but rather reflects the light it receives from the Sun.
If the sun is luminous what are the earth and moon?
Earth and Moon are Non-Luminous, and a bit reflective. Moon light is sun light that has bounced back from the moon.

How does an eclipse affect your environment?
Solar Eclipse: There is a new moon. The sun is blocked out by the moon for some time. Lunar Eclipse: There is a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The reflective light of the moon is blocked by the Earth.

Does the sun moon or earth have more reflective power?
The Earth has the more reflective power. How much light that is reflected from a body is know as the albedo. Earth has an albedo of 0.367 where as the moon has an albedo of only 0.136. The sun is not said to have an albedo because it emits far more energy that it could ever possibly reflect from other sources.
If the sun is luminous what are the earth and moon?
Earth and Moon are Non-Luminous, and a bit reflective. Moon light is sun light that has bounced back from the moon.
Why does the moon appearance?
The phases of the moon are due to the reflection of sunlight.
Does the reflective surface of the moon get hot?
The illuminated side of the moon is in excess of 250 degrees hotter than the other side. Only part of the moon faces the sun, which is the part I described as illuminated. The sun heats up the side that faces it and the moon does not have the protection of an Earth-like atmosphere.
Is the earths maps reflected onto the moon?
No, the Earth's maps are not reflected onto the moon. The moon does not have an atmosphere to create reflections like we see on Earth. The appearance of the moon's surface is shaped by its own geology and lack of weathering processes.
Why does moon outshines all heavenly bodies in the sky?
Because it is exposing, when full, a relatively large reflective surface to the brightest object in the sky - the sun.
Why does the moon looks like it has light?
The Moon has a reflective surface. So it reflects off of the suns light. Making it seem like it is shining! The Moon also revolves around the Earth. So it reflects differently around the Earth, giving Earth the different moons!!
