The light of the full moon originates from the sun. When the moon is full, it is positioned directly opposite the sun in relation to Earth, allowing sunlight to illuminate its surface. The moon does not produce its own light; instead, it reflects the sunlight that hits it, creating the bright appearance we see from Earth.

What you call full moon light?
The light given off by the full moon is often called moonlight. It is a soft, silvery light that illuminates the landscape at night.
Which Moon phase reflects the most light?
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.
How is a new moon and a full moon different?
a new moon is when the moon is forming again and a full moon is when the moon is fully formed <><><><><> The new moon is when the Moon is minimally lighted, while the full moon is when the Moon is maximally lighted.
How do the shadows on the Moon's surface change as the moon moves from a crescent moon to a full moon?
As the Moon moves from a crescent phase to a full moon, the shadows on its surface will decrease in length. This is because the angle of the Sun's light hitting the Moon changes, with the light becoming more direct as the Moon approaches the full moon phase. Thus, there will be less shadow cast on the lunar surface during a full moon compared to a crescent moon.
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."
Why is the full moon light?

10 Explain the phases of the Moon in terms of the relative positions of the Earth Sun and Moon?
· When there is no light reflecting of the moon, it means it is a full moon, whereas when the moon is reflecting all of the light towards us, it is a full moon. And between these two extremes, you see different amounts of reflected light.
Can the moon be also called a full moon?
yes when half the moon is reflecting the suns light
Which side of the moon is illuminated as it waxes from full to new?
A waxing moon has the light on the right side. A waning moon has the light on the left side. Therefore, moving down from a full moon to a new moon, it must be waning, and the light should be on the left.
What does it mean when people say you'll have your baby at the light of the moon?
