Ive given a pretty good explanation i think. Considering chemiluminescence or phosphorescence can light up minerals and showing that fluorescence can do the same thing and even make it look like a moonlight

Reflection is the easiest answer

But not the right answer necessarily

actually all you said is that bio/chem/phosphoreencence are a thing and something looks on the surface looks like moonlight

Also the temperature differences of the light

Which brings everything into question

you expect them to be the extact temperature?

There must be something more to it all

If the moon was reflecting the sun light, then the moonlight should be warm not cold

But we see the opposite

how it is "cold"

the experiments done show a few degree drop in temp

thats not "cold"

Its sure not hot

Yes its "colder than"

so do you expect them to be the exact same temp

well i can tell you it isnt flurescent or phosphorecent because both of those rely on the sun to function

or an other light source

Or radiation

light is a form of radiation

so, yes

visible or UV radiation

im struggling to grasp what you mean bby cold light, does a mere drop in temp make the light cold

It can be energy absorbed then it is released as light

so then you have chem/biolumicentent

The drop of temperature makes it cold yes

and going back to my orginal question of, what is the actual cause of the chem/biolumicentant, how it getting the reactants needed

@Satan i mean, if you take a temperature reading of the surface of something being hit by the moonlight, it is generally colder than the same surface just inches away in the moonshade. So moonlight is cold.

@DrPeper solar radiation

that a) isnt chem/biolumicentant b) still requires the sun to hit the moon with visible light

So ?

so when the visible lights hits the moon, it would reflect off

Sunlight ≠ Moonlight | just do an experiment it will show you the results of moonlight lowering the temperature on a plant for example @Satan

The sun light hits the moon. Charges it then the moon glows

I dont know for sure. Neither do you

Gtg. Bbl

Visible light would just reflect off, aka the mainstream model. UV radiation is what you need for phoroscent or flurencent lights sources

also, i am just going to assume it isnt biolumiencent since i doubt you think there are living things on the moon

i wonder why f.e's wont use spectrometer

i thought i mentioned that

What about them
