How is the moon able to give off light?
The moon does not give off light itself; it reflects light from the sun. Sunlight hits the moon's surface and is reflected back to Earth, making it appear as if the moon is giving off light.

Does the moon give light to the sun?
The same reason it gives light to the Earth - the Sun shines on the moon too.
Where does Moon light come from?
Moonlight is sunlight reflected off the surface of the moon. The moon does not produce its own light, but instead acts like a mirror, reflecting the light from the sun down to Earth.
Why does a moon appear to give off a bright white light when it doesn't produce its own light?
The moon reflects light from the sun, which is why it appears to give off a bright white light. The moon's surface reflects different amounts of sunlight depending on its position in orbit, resulting in the various phases we see from Earth.
