Answer:

The Moon itself does not generate light

Step-by-step explanation:

The Moon itself does not generate light; it is lit up by the Sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the portion of illuminated Moon that we see changes – giving rise to the phases of the Moon. Starting at the New Moon phase, the Moon appears to expand in illumination.
