It's only reflecting the 10 % sun's light, not creating its own light, so it isn't as bright.
Cause the gravitational pull is less great on the moon.
The moon doesn't produce any light. The moon reflects light from the sun. As the earths shadow moves across the surface of the moon to show more surface of the moon is call Waxing means there is more reflective properties to reflect the sunlight which makes the moon appear to be brighter. As the moon gets smaller or waning less light gets reflected hense it appears darker. Has nothing to do with the supernatural or occult and everything to do with common sense and logic.
The Sun and the Moon are the only celestial objects that appear brighter in the sky than Venus.
When you see it up in the sky, yes! Venus is the second brightest object in the night sky. Our moon is first.

With the moon. The sun is actually bouncing light off of the moon to get to the earth, that's why the moon tends to look like it "glows". So with that light, the night would be brighter with the moon
Neither the sun nor the moon are planets. The sun is brighter than the moon by far. The sun emits its own light. The moon only reflects light from the sun.
The moon appears brighter at night than during the daytime because the level of outdoor illuminance is less than that of the moon.

If you are referring to the albedo or the natural light that is emitted from an object then the answer is the Moon. The Moon's albedo is .12, while the albedo of Mars is .15. Basically, this means that Mars is brighter, however we see the moon as being brighter because we are much closer to the moon than to mars. Alternatively, if you are asking which has more sunlight falling on it, the answer is the Moon. Mars is further from the Sun than the Moon, so there is less sunlight falling on each square inch of the Mars than on the Moon.
Yes. The sunlight on Neptune is less than that on Earth, but brighter than the light of a full moon.
Clearly the sun is the brightest object in the sky.
The sun emits its own light. The moon only reflects light from the sun.
the full moon is more closer to the sun than the half moon
no stars are very bright and the mooon has no light of its own it reflects the light of the sun which is a star -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the person above (thank you) explained already, stars give off light itself. For example, the Sun has nuclear fusion that creates light. The moon, however, only reflects light from the Sun and cannot produce light on its own. Therefore stars are definitely brighter than the moon. But when you look up in the night, the moon would seem brighter. However, when you think of the distance-moon is close, stars are really, really, really, rea~lly far away-then you can see that stars are brighter than the moon. Thank you :) -Joanna
They are still there, but the brightness of the sun is far brighter and overwhelms the light from the stars. It is like when you see the moon during the day, it looks dimmer because the sky around it is brighter. This is the same effect on stars except the stars are far less bright than the moon and they essentially get lost in the brightness.
Stars appear brighter when seen from the Moon because there is no atmosphere on the Moon to scatter or absorb light. This allows starlight to pass through to our eyes without interference, making them appear brighter compared to when seen from Earth.
