Each is illuminated by the Sun, and by a small extent by light reflected from the other.
'The Sun' is always a pretty good guess when asking where illumination comes from, although CR4 is also a good source.

Sorry I don't follow you...I think my answer is concise, explicite and accurate. I'm not sure what you think I'm evading.

Than, the only possibility is my misunderstanding.

I thought that the question is if the Earth is seen, from the Moon, as the Moon is seen from the Earth (like a lantern, making possible strolls on sand, hand in hand...oh, what memories...hm, sorry, I was day dreaming). I don't know if anybody would walk under the Earth light (what a beautiful Martian song) but I think the strait answer to that curious gentleman was: yes the Earth is seen from the Moon like the Moon is seen from the Earth during the dark nights (because would be dark, without Moon, isn't it?)

Most anything you want to know about what you see in the sky can be found at spaceweather.com. Great pictures of last night's full moon, too!
