No because the moons light is reflected light from the Sun. Now the sun heats the moon, but the moon doesn't give off heat by itself!

Well considering the moon has no light of its own, but reflects the sun's light I would have to say any heat that there is is minimal at best

The moon reflects sunlight, which has radiant heat. The area of the moon that is in direct sunlight is much warmer than the area in shadow, so there is some heat reflected from the surface rocks and sand. Not enough that it would ever reach earth, though.

Hey moon does not emit light in the first place. It is non-luminous. The light that we see is the sunlight reflected by the moon.So there is no question of heat arising. Hope its clear.

how do you define heat? the moon stands in the way of the sun and the sun's light reflects off the moon.. the sun's spectrum consists of all wavelengths and also IR radiation.. thus the moon does reflect IR radiation...

oh man, you are back with your stupid questions.
first of all it is a non-luminous body (which doesn't have its own light), the moon appears bright to us because moon reflects the light of sun. well the reflected ray has very much small amount of heat.

more than zero, but not a lot more than zero.
its kinda like 'cool light'... these were lamps developed to not cast IR (infrared, heat) for photographing snowflakes and things that dont like the heat of a regular bulb . (hell, i dont remember why they were invented) the inventor passed the lamplight thru water, which absorbed the IR.
even those lamps gave off SOME heat... its kinda the nature of radiation. take away ALL of the IR and some of the visible light will still 'warm' a body by passing its energy to the molecules of the body.

I don't think so. The moon is illuminated by the sun, just like the Earth. The moon doesn't actually emit any of it's own light (unlike the sun...a big fiery star).

Well yes I can give U 2 answers :
1) No it does not give of any heat
2) Well I am sure it gives body heat , they say a couple under the moonlight gets hot coz of the romance

All light increases the temperature of any object by increasing the average molecular speed within the object.
