What Makes the Moon Glow at Night?

The moon doesn't make its own light, but it reflects the sun's light like a shiny ball. When we look at the moon at night, we're seeing this reflected sunlight. Imagine playing with a flashlight in a dark room, if you shine the flashlight on a white ball, it glows bright from the other side of the room. That's what happens with the moon and Earth, the sun is the flashlight, and we’re the ones seeing the glow.
