Why can you see the surface of the moon from Earth?
*
The moon gives off its own light.
Light from the sun is reflected by the moon’s surface.
Light from Earth is reflected by the moon’s surface.
The moon absorbs sunlight during the day and glows at night.
The correct answer is:
Light from the sun is reflected by the moon’s surface.
The moon does not emit its own light but instead reflects sunlight that hits its surface. This reflected sunlight enables us to see the surface of the moon from Earth.
