. . . or from any heavenly body is called albedo.
About 11% of the total solar radiation that reaches the Moon is reflected back into space. This reflectivity is known as the Moon's albedo, which is relatively low compared to Earth. The majority of the solar radiation is absorbed by the lunar surface, contributing to the Moon's temperature variations.
Moonlight is actually reflected light from the sun, not the Earth. The Moon has no light of its own and shines by reflecting sunlight. The Moon's surface reflects varying amounts of sunlight depending on its phase.
As we see it, it is the full Moon. However, at any time, the Sun is shining on a full side of the moon, so the same amount of light is reflected, but less light is reflected towards us. How much daylight and darkness there is, also affects how much light appears to be reflected from the Moon as we see it. So when the Moon is visible before the Sun sets, it doesn't look as bright as it does after the Sun sets.
if you mean the small shadow, its the penumbra
The shape of the bright image of the moon changes for that very reason. At times the remaining dark part may be faintly illuminated due to sunlight or moonlight reflected from the Earth to the Moon (and back to the observer). The actual shape of the Moon is not known to be affected by light.
no
The moon's light is really reflected from the sunlight that hits the moon.
No, the moon's light is actually sunlight that is reflected off its surface. The moon doesn't produce its own light; it merely reflects the light from the sun.
The moon's light is reflected of the sun
it is because of this reflected light you can clearly see the moon
The Moon's light is reflected sunlight.
Sun
Yes, the moon gets its light from the sun.
no. it's the light is from the sun. it is reflected off the moon.
The "light" from the moon is reflected sunlight. The phases of the moon are a clue as to the location of the sun.
to use ur eyes wow really -.-..... Light emitted by the Sun is reflected to Earth by the Moon's surface.
The light on the moon is actually sunlight that is reflected off the moon's surface. The moon does not produce its own light.
