The moon light we see is sunlight reflected off the moon's surface.
Here's why:
* The moon doesn't produce its own light. It's a large, rocky body orbiting the Earth.
* The sun is the primary source of light in our solar system.
* The moon's surface reflects a portion of the sunlight that hits it. This reflected light is what we see as moonlight.
It's true that the Earth reflects some sunlight back into space, but this light is too faint and scattered to be noticeable from the moon.
