Why does the moon "shine"?

Question

Why does the moon "shine"?

Answer 1

The moon shines because the light from the sun reflects off of the surface of the moon. We see it as the moon "glowing" because the light reflects from the sun to the moon and then onto the earth.

Answer 2

Depending on the angle which causes the different phases of the moon, it shines from the sun's reflection.

Answer 3

The moon's shine is actually the sun's light reflecting off the surface of the moon.
