Where does the moon's light come from?

Answer 1

The sun, like all other light in our solar system.

Answer 2

After the Sun, the Moon is the brightest object in the sky. Of course, the light we see doesn't originate on the Moon -- the Moon (like the planets) shines by reflected sunlight. [Note in passing: the Moon's surface is actually quite black. Only about 3% of the Sun's light which hits the Moon is reflected. But that's enough to light up our night sky.] The most prominent feature of the Moon's appearance in the sky is the Moon's phase. The Sun, of course, only lights up 1/2 the Moon -- the half that is facing the Sun. This doesn't always correspond to the half that faces the earth. In fact, if the Moon is on the same side of the earth as the Sun, we won't see the Moon at all. It's what we call a New Moon. If the Moon is on the opposite side of the earth as the Sun, then we have a Full Moon, and we can see the entire 1/2 that the Sun lights up. Note that this means we can tell time by the Moon. We normally tell time by the Sun. For example, if the Sun is near the meridian, then it's around noon; if it's setting then its around 6 p.m. However, as you can see from the diagram, the phase of the Moon tells us the angle between the Sun and the Moon. We see the Moon and we know the angle to the Sun, so we therefore know where the Sun is. Hence we know the time.

Answer 3

The Moon actually reflect light from the sun.

Answer 4

The moon does not have any light of its own it reflects the light from the sun

Answer 5

Moon's light is from the sunlight.

Answer 6

A star (like our sun) produces its own light (by nuclear reactions).

A planet and anything else in spaces such as natural staellites (moons) are visible to us because the suns light is reflected off it (in the same way you see another person, light reflects off them and into your eye).
So the moon is not producing its own light. We can confirm this in a lunar eclispse, when the Earth gets between the sun and moon, blocking the light and we can't see the moon (this happens at night)

Answer 7

The moon's light is a reflection from our sun's light.

Answer 8

Moon light is reflected sunlight. The moon's surface acts kind of like a mirror.

Answer 9

sun gives light to the moon and moon does no have any of his own light

Answer 10

It's all reflected from the sun. The moon is dead, airless and full of lava flows astrophyisicits refuse to try to explain; it has very shallow dust, indicating the last lava flows happened a lot more recently than public scientists admit.Also, it's fairly bright (albedo--coefficient of shininess) when the light hits it just right; and completely dark when it's in the Earth's shadow during an eclipse.

Answer 11

moon light comes from the sun's rays.
moon is a solid opaque object so it does not allow the sun's rays to pass through it instead they are reflected by the moon to the earth
