The definition of a moon is a body orbiting a planet and a planet must orbit a sun. Therefore, they must all reflect a sun's light.

A moon orbits a planet. The only light on any moon or planet comes from the star they are in orbit around.

Well, by definition moons orbit planets. Planets orbit suns. The moons reflect the light of the sun that the planet is oribiting.

moons orbit planets. planets orbit suns (Stars). Suns orbit galactic centers.
But the moon-planet system DOES have its own net momentum. You could definetely say that the earth-moon system orbits the sun, and it really does. The earth-moon system's center of mass is what really orbits the sun.
The Solar System's center of mass orbits the galactic center.
cool!
