No. Anything we see on the moon is illuminated by the sun. When you see the moon as a thin crescent, the entire moon is still there, but you see only the part upon which the sun is shining. You see nothing of the part of the moon that has no direct line of sight from the sun, because nothing on that part of the moon's surface is creating its own light.
What else can I help you with?
What moon phase occurs when all of the moon's surface facing Earth reflects light?
Almost all of the earth-facing side of the Moon is a pretty good reflector of light, and it would be reflecting starlight all the time, in all phases of the moon. The answer the author of the question is looking for is, "full moon." That happens when the moon is not in the shadow cast by the Earth.The question should read, "reflects sunlight."
What is the view of the earth from the moon over 28 days?
The Earth would be all the time in the same direction - more or less. It would have about 4 times the apparent diameter the Moon seems to us - about 2 degrees instead of 1/2 degree.

Does the moon give off light or reflect it?
The moon reflects light just as any other object reflects light that falls upon it. Only about 7% of the light from the Sun is reflected off the moon's surface == ==The moon reflects the light from the sun.
Why does half of the moon always receive light from the sun?
Because the Moon is spherical, or nearly so, and light from the Sun shines out in all directions.
What impact was caused by the impact on the moon?
the impact was that we all had light at night and it con trolls the tides and if there was no moon there would be no waves so all the moon really does is con troll the sea and oceans and people say the moon use to be part of the earth but it hasn't been proven yet so the moon does make a big im pact on the earth when you really think about it.
What percentage of the moon receives light at all time?
0% All of the moon receives light only some of the time.
What does the moon have to do with the earth?
it keeps the earth from being LIGHT all the time

Does the moon reflect off the sun?
The moon is a heavenly body that orbits our fair earth. The lit section of the moon the we see here on earth is the direct sunlight bouncing off of IT. It is day time on the moon in the LIT section. Imagine what the Earth would look like from space when an astronaut sees both the day and night side at the same time. The darker part of the moon is the section where the moon doesnt quite face the sun. Its nighttime on the moon there. Most of the time, when the moon and sun are in the sky at the same time, you can clearly see the moon. When the moon is too near the sun, around the time of the new moon, it is not visible except of course if there is an eclipse.
Without an atmosphere would there be light all the time?
AnswerThe light comes to us from the sun, moon and stars.Without an atmosphere, there would still be light from the sun during daylight hours. The stars are not visible during the daytime because the light from the sun is scattered through the atmosphere and conceals the much fainter light of the stars, so without an atmosphere the stars would be visible both day and night. The moon reflects light to us from the sun, and would continue to do so even without an atmosphere.
We are confused the moon gives light to the sun somehow?
The moon as well as all the other moons and planets do not give off any light. you see the reflected light from the sun. If you were in space looking at the earth with the sun behind you then the earth will look like a nice bright planet (day time) whilst the other side would be in night time and appear dark. So when you see the moon you are looking at it's daytime so to speak.
Why moon does not have its own light?
The reason that the moon does not give out light of its own is because it is not a gas and is it a solid that does not have the right and material to properaly give off light and it used to be apart of earth and it is not a star AlexShottsanswers.com
How does the moon light up?
The moon does not produce light of its own but rather reflects sunlight. When the sun's light shines on the moon's surface, it causes the moon to appear illuminated from our perspective on Earth. This is why the amount of moonlight we see varies depending on the moon's position relative to the sun.

Do you see the moon because it makes its own light?
No. We see it because it reflects the light of the sun. That is why we don't see the moon as full all the time. As it is orbiting Earth, from our perspective only some of it appears to be bright at times.
Why is the Moon dark all of the time?
The Moon isn't always dark. It reflects the Sun's light, but its appearance changes based on its position relative to the Earth and Sun. During a "new moon," the side facing us is not illuminated, so it appears dark.
There is no air on the moon If a bowling ball a feather and a large empty box were dropped from the same height on the moon at the same time which would land first?
They would all land at the same time because in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. This is due to the acceleration of gravity being the same for all objects on the moon.
