Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike a lamp or our sun, the moon doesn’t produce its own light. Moonlight is actually sunlight that shines on the moon and bounces off. The light reflects off old volcanoes, craters, and lava flows on the moon’s surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -Moonlight is actually a reflected light as the moon is a natural satellite that is not a source of light. It reflects all the light from the sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -Moonlight is really light from the sun. The moon reflects the sunlight. When something is reflected, it is thrown back. The sun’s light is thrown back to Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Sun produces light by a nuclear reaction called fusion. As atoms of hydrogen combine to form helium, they produce vast amounts of heat and light.
Detailed explanation-5: -The moon is not creating the light and heat, but is reflecting energy from the sun and sending it 220, 000 miles across space to add a romantic glow to the Earth’s night.
