Moonlight
Night sky's illumination
Moonlight is the light that reaches Earth from the sun after reflecting off the moon's surface.
It provides dim natural illumination at night, enough to see by but not to read.
As a verb, moonlight means to work a second job, typically at night and often without reporting the income: She moonlights as a bartender on weekends.
The adjective moonlit describes scenes bathed in this soft, silvery light: a moonlit walk on the beach.
