Why can the moon look luminous?

The moon actually glows because it reflects sunlight. Sunlight hits the surface of the
moon, and the sunlit parts appear to glow. However, when the moon does not
appear to glow from Earth, it is due to the relative positions of the moon, Earth and
sun. When the sun illuminates the side of the moon that is not visible from Earth, we
see the moon in its "new" or "new moon" phase, where the side visible from Earth is
not exposed to sunlight. This phenomenon occurs due to the relative position
differences between the moon, Earth, and sun in their orbits.

How the full moon happens?

A full moon occurs due to the relative positions of the Earth, Sun and Moon. During
the full phase, the Earth is between the Sun and the Moon so that sunlight fully
illuminates the lunar surface facing towards the Earth. The lunar cycle is about 29.5
days, which is the time it takes for the Moon to return to the same relative position in
orbiting the Earth. This process involves a complex interaction between gravity and
the Moon's orbital movement around the Earth. In addition, the Moon's elliptical
orbital trajectory causes small variations in the distance between the Earth and the
Moon during this cycle, which can affect the intensity of light reflected from the lunar
surface when it is in its full phase.
