Why does the moon glow brightly?

The moon appears to glow brightly because it reflects sunlight. Although it doesn't emit its own light, the surface of the moon is made up of materials that effectively scatter and reflect sunlight. The brightness of the moon also varies depending on its phase, with a full moon being the most luminous as it reflects the maximum amount of sunlight directly back to Earth. Additionally, the moon's position in the sky can enhance its visibility and brightness.
