The sun does not shine in the night. The full moon reflects sunlight to the Earth at night.
Yes but not in the way you are thinking. The Moon reflects light but does not produce it's own energy.
Two things. First and foremost, the sun shining off the lunar surface. We can also see into the dark side of the moon because the earth reflects so much of the sun's light back into space that it lights up the shadows.
day and night
The moon is not a star. The moon only reflects the suns light. Only stars make light. Our sun is a star.
The moon lacks an atmosphere to retain heat, so it cannot trap heat received during the day. This causes temperatures to drop rapidly at night when the sun is no longer shining, leading to the extreme temperature swings between day and night.
The moon does not produce its own light. It reflects light from the sun, which is why we can see it shining in the night sky.

The moon's light reflects the sun's rays, creating a gentle, silvery glow that illuminates the night sky and casts shadows on the Earth. Its ethereal beauty and soft radiance have inspired poets, artists, and romantics for centuries.
The effect is that we see the phases of the moon here on Earth. The reason for different phases is the angle and position of the sun and moon.
Earthlings can see the moon shining bright in the sky during the night when the moon is in its full phase and fully illuminated by the sun. This typically occurs once a month when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun.
Well, kinda. The moon reflects the light from the sun. It does not make its own light.
Actually, you can see it in the day too, but it's more clearer in the night. Want to know why? Read on! The sun is basically the reason why the moon is clearer at night. As you know, in the day, the sun is shining, and it is so strong that it does not make the moon visible. What I mean is, since the moon has light too, like the sun, it camouflages with the sunlight, or it blends in with the sunlight. When it blends in, you can't see the moon. At night, it's a whole different story. As you know, the sun sets at night, so not a lot of sun is shining on your side of the earth. Sometimes it does shine a little, which makes a crescent moon, and, well, you know. But when there is no sunlight shining, you will see the full moon. Cool, right? Anyway, I hope it helped because you just wasted thirty seconds of my life. Have a wonderful day (Or in this case...Have a wonderful night! [Ooh...Having a little bit of that?])
No. It shines because it is reflecting light from the sun.
you can't see the moon rarely in the day because the sun is already shining on earth. the moon is just a rock thats reflects light from the sun at night
Because the light from the moon is only the reflected light from the sun so when the sun is shining on you it is actually coming down on you but the light shining from the moon is the light from the sun which at night time is on the other side of the world
50% of the sun is always shining on every body in the solar system.
