Earthlight?
Just regular sunlight. The โ€œnightโ€ sky might throw off your intuition, but no atmosphere = no sky

Moonlight is also technically sunlight. Itโ€™s being reflected by the surface of the moon back onto Earth. If you were on the dark side of the moon while Earth was still visible on that side, I wonder how bright it would be lit up from light reflecting off Earth.

Humans never set foot on the dark side, afaik.

FYI - "dark side of the moon" refers to the far side of the moon (that never faces Earth). Dark here has the same meaning as in dark energy: "unknown."

I have no answer to your actual question, but would also be interested.

I know that is also true butโ€ฆ Is there another way to describe the side that isnโ€™t currently facing the sun? ๐Ÿค”
Unilluminated? Night?
