Question
the moon does not produce any light. yet we can we see the moon in the sky. why? moon reflecting earths light earth reflecting the moons light moon reflecting the suns light
The Moon is a non-luminous celestial body. We can see it because it reflects the light emitted by the Sun, which is a luminous star that generates its own light. The other options are incorrect: the Earth does not emit enough light to make the Moon visible this way, and the Earth does not reflect the Moon's light (as the Moon has no light of its own to reflect).
