Justice Reynolds · Answer 1

It would be the moon. Because even though you can't see the Sun, it's light reflects off the moons surface, which a gray/white. Which is why it's shines like it does. The moon is also much closer than Mars. And mars is mostly red, which doesn't reflect nearly as much light

The Full Moon

Explanation:

The smaller the magnitude number, the brighter the object. The full Moon has an apparent magnitude of - 12.6, and when Mars is at its brightest in the night sky, its apparent magnitude is + 2.0.
