1. To emit rays of light to give light to beam with steady radiance to exhibit lightness or splendor as, the sun shines by day the moon shines by night. Shining differs from sparkling, glistening, glittering, as it usually implies a steady radiation or emission of light, whereas the latter words usually imply irregular or interrupted radiation. This distinction is not always not always observed, and we may say, the fixed stars shine, as well as they sparkle. But we never say the sun or the moon sparkles.

2. To be bright to be lively and animated to be brilliant.

Let thine eyes shine forth in their full luster. Denham.

3. To be unclouded as, the moon shines.
