Moonlight: How the Moon Reflects Sunlight & Creates Phases
Yes, the moon reflects sunlight. It doesn't produce its own light. That's why we see different phases of the moon - it's just reflecting varying amounts of sunlight as it orbits the Earth.
Here's a simple analogy: Imagine a mirror. A mirror doesn't create its own light, but it reflects light from a source, like the sun. The moon is similar, acting as a giant mirror reflecting the sun's light.
