If the moon is not blocked by the earth it will shine. Why? Because stray light rays bounce off the surface of the moon. It looks like the moon is giving off its own light, but no.

The moon appears shiny due to the reflection of sunlight off its rough and rocky surface. The brightness or shininess of the moon can vary based on its phase, position relative to Earth, and the amount of sunlight hitting it.
