The Light From the Sun

At the full moon night two days ago, I realized one thing about the moon's light.
The moonlight... is not the actual light of the moon; it's the light of the sun reflected. But the light we see at night is coming from the shining moon and so we usually forget about this fact.
How strong the sunlight's influence on earth is. Even at night, when there is no sun on the sky, it illuminates us by getting a help from the moon.
