We had this discussion in a class last night. There is
no atmosphere to scatter light on the moon, so if you're in a
shadow, how pitch black is it? Will the light reflected/
scattered from the surface (albedo of the moon is 0.07, if
I recall right) be sufficient to light the page?

My guess would be yes.
While I'm certain shadows are darker on the moon as there's
no atmospheric scattering, there's still loads of reflected
light from the surface. There's enough light from the
full moon here on Earth to read by, so I'd imagine it would
be even brighter on the moon itself.

How does the moon effect the climate of earth other than tides?
