07. Except for the Sun, is there any light in outer space? Is starlight bright? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

When you stand on the Moon, you get light not just from the Sun, but from the Earth! The Earth looks like a shiny blue and white marble which is three times bigger than the Moon looks to us down here. When you get near to other planets, and their moons, then they, too, provide light. Starlight can be amazingly bright, even here on Earth, but you have to be looking up far away from any other lights to really notice—like when you visit the desert.
