Detailed explanation-1: -The Moon gets its light from the Sun. In the same way that the Sun illuminates Earth, the Moon reflects the Sun’s light, making it appear bright in our sky.
Detailed explanation-2: -The moonlight we see on Earth is sunlight reflected off the Moon’s grayish-white surface. The amount of Moon we see changes over the month-lunar phases-because the Moon orbits Earth and Earth orbits the Sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -The moon shines because its surface reflects light from the sun. The perceived brightness of the moon from Earth depends on where the moon is in its orbit around the planet.
Detailed explanation-4: -Moonlight consists of mostly sunlight (with little earthlight) reflected from the parts of the Moon’s surface where the Sun’s light strikes.
