Which best describes why the moon appears to shine its own light?

English
1 answer:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
8 0

The answer is D: The moon’s surface reflects sunlight.

The moon is Earth´s natural satellite. It is an astronomical body that orbits the Earth in a synchronous rotation with it (that is why we can only see, from Earth, one of its sides, the other being the dark side of the moon). Since the moon, unlike the sun which is a star that produces energy and is, therefore, a light source, it does not shine through its own light, rather it can only reflect upon its surface the sun´s light allowing us to see it with our bare eyes from the Earth.

Stells [14]
In Shakespeare's play on Othello, the 1st Act introduces class and race as something very important by that time. Racism is rampant; Othello, being of black skin color and of different features compared to other men, was isolated and was regarded as 'barbaric'. However, Othello was a nobleman and a brilliant high-ranking soldier, thus, his social status was regarded as a very important factor to being respected.
