So that celestial objects, such as stars or the moon will be clearly visible to the eye and bright. Meanwhile, during the day, the sun will shine very strongly and the celestial objects are not clearly visible to the eye. Do you know why the moon appears brighter at night? Reported by Wonderopolis, the moon is not a star. The moon does not produce its own light like the sun. So that we see the moon because the sun's light is reflected back into our eyes. The moon reflects a lot of sunlight. So that it becomes the second brightest object in the sky after the sun. Although not as bright as the sun, the moon is still 100,000 times brighter than the stars. During the day the sun is very bright. So it is impossible to see objects that are less bright and far away in the sky. These objects, such as planets, stars can usually only be seen at night when sunlight is not shining on them. The limitation of the human eye's vision is solely because of the area of ​​the eye lens, not the strength of the sun's light. Reflecting light The moon will also be exposed to sunlight and reflect sunlight. The moon is not always in the same place in the sky all the time. During the lunar cycle, it is sometimes closer to the sun and sometimes farther from the sun. Even the moon can be seen during the day. Because when the moon approaches the new moon phase and is close to the sun, it can be seen easily during the day. Because the moon reflects more sunlight back to the earth. Reported by live science, the moon shines because its surface reflects light from the sun. Sometimes it appears to shine very brightly, the moon only reflecting between 3 and 12 percent of the sunlight that receives it. The moon's brightness from Earth depends on the position of the moon in its orbit around the planet. The moon travels once around the earth every 29.5 days, and during its journey, the moon is illuminated from various angles by the sun. At some point in the moon's path around the earth, only half of its surface is facing the sun. So only half of the moon is lit, while the other half of the surface is away from the sun and is in shadow. The moon has a dark gray color and a wavy surface. This is what makes the moon able to reflect sunlight at night.
