Yes. What you see when you look at the moon is the sun light on the moon reflecting to you. Except when the Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon [called a total lunar eclipse]. Even then a small amount of light which is defracted through the Earth's atmosphere get to the Moon, but it is diffused light, not shining directly from the Sun to the Moon.
Yes, the sun shines on the moon, just as it shines on Earth. The moon doesn't generate its own light, so it reflects the sunlight that strikes its surface. This is why we see the moon brightly lit when it's in the night sky.
Just like here on earth, the moon is light when the sun is shining on the surface and dark when it is not. The moon has a day and night just like on earth, except that days on the moon are much longer than here on earth.
Yes. The visible portion of the moon is lit up by the sun, essentially where it is day. The dark portion the portion of the moon were it is night. The sun actually appears brighter from the moon than it does from Earth, as on Earth, the atmosphere blocks out a portion of the sun's light.
As of now, only the following are known to exist on the moon: -- dust -- rocks -- flags, hardware, and science-experiment equipment, left over from Apollo landings in 1969-72. Russian built Lunakhod lunar rover.
Just a bunch of craters (all of which are named) and a few robotic probes from Earth.
No.
The moon looks bright to us due to it's reflection of rays of light from the sun.
So far scientists have discovered no un human life forms. Humans can not receive oxgen on the moon.
if there was it would be a very small and unnoticable amount compared to the sun. I don't think the small amount of light would be able to travel that far anyway :)

Why does the moon depend on the sun to shine?

When was the moon closest to the sun it is at?
* When Earth is at periapsis (closest to the Sun, in January), Earth, and therefore the Moon, are closer to the Sun than when Earth is at apapsis. * On average, at new moon the Moon is closer to the Sun than at full moon, since at full moon the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.

How does the sun affect the moon?
The sun's gravitational pull causes the moon to orbit around the Earth, resulting in the moon's phases as we see from Earth. The sun also illuminates the moon, causing it to appear bright in the sky as it reflects sunlight.
