Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The Moon is not regarded as a source of light because, unlike the sun and other luminous
objects like bulbs, mobiles, and so forth, it does not generate light. Essentially, it
reflects the sun's light, which we experience on earth. The Moon does not produce its
light; it only reflects light from other sources. Sunlight illuminates it. On the Moon, a day lasts roughly 14 days, and a night is roughly the same. A full lunar day, including both
day and night, thus, lasts for about 28 days. The Moon absorbs light from the sun and reflects it. Therefore, the Moon has no light on its own.
The correct statement would be that the Moon is not a natural light source.
