Earthshine makes the night about 43 times brighter, and sometimes even 55 times brighter than a night on Earth illuminated by the light of the full moon. Only during lunar eclipses the night is on the near side darker than on Earth.

No person has been on the Moon during its night and experienced earthshine.
