Original Note:
The Moon does not make its own light —”moonlight” is actually reflected sunlight. From here on Earth, the sunlit part of the Moon usually looks bright, almost white. This is an illusion as volcanic rock on the moon absorbs most of the visible light that reaches it. https://moon.nasa.gov/moon-in-motion/sun-moonlight/moonlight/
