Here's the breakdown:
* The moon is a giant rock: It's a large, rocky body orbiting Earth.
* It reflects sunlight: The moon doesn't produce its own light. Instead, it reflects sunlight that falls on its surface. This is why we see the moon in different phases – the amount of sunlight reflected towards us changes as the moon orbits Earth.
So, while it might *appear* to be glowing, the moon is actually a giant reflector, showing us the light of the sun.
