Question

why can we see the moon at night? light from the sun is absorbed by the moon. light from the sun is reflected back to us off the moon. light from the earth is reflected back to us off of the moon. the moon is luminous and produces its own light.

Explanation:

The moon is not a luminous object; it does not produce its own light. Instead, it reflects the light from the sun. When sunlight hits the moon's surface, it bounces back (is reflected) towards Earth. This reflected light is what makes the moon visible to us at night. The first option is incorrect because if the moon absorbed all the sunlight, it would not be visible. The third option is wrong as the Earth's light is not the source that makes the moon visible. The fourth option is incorrect because the moon does not produce its own light (it is not luminous like the sun).

Answer:

Light from the sun is reflected back to us off the moon.
