The moon is technically not a source of light on its own, for the moon would not light up the night sky without the sun’s help.
The moon absorbs the sun’s light and stores it until night time. Then at night the moon will start to glow slightly, the sun’s light making it glow brighter. Have you ever looked outside during a summers day? Sometimes you can see both the moon and the sun at the same time!
