  • Do Planets Reflect Moonlight? Understanding Planetary Illumination
    Planets do not reflect light from the moon. They reflect light from the sun.

    Here's why:

    * The moon does not produce its own light. It shines because it reflects sunlight.

    * Planets are much further away from the moon than the sun. The amount of light the moon reflects is too weak to be noticeable on planets.
