The Moon is cold . . . it is bright only because it reflects Sunlight.
No. the light of the moon is always reflected sunlight.
Yes, it certainly does. What we see as the moon is sunlight, as the moon does not produce light of its own.
True. Half of the Moon is in sunlight.
Sunlight reflected to Earth off the Moon is called moonlight.
The Moon doesn't shine at all. This is what bothers me about vampire movies; sunlight kills vampires, but moonlight doesn't affect them. And yet, the Moon is just a giant mirror in the sky reflecting SUNLIGHT back to the Earth! Why wouldn't the vampires all die of the reflected sunlight, that's what I want to know! Anyway, moonlight is simply reflected sunlight.
The sun's sunlight.
the sun is on the other side of earth reflecting the sunlight to the moon!
When we have a new moon is when the sunlight falls on the far side of the moon. This happens once a month.
