steve's got a point

only if the material gives of more light than taken in

yees, photons can absorb energy. they are part of the electromagnetic quantum wave

Photons are actually a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.

@raspberry so, covering the ground directly after measuring it uncovered has a warmer temperature?

nice explanation

So Moonlight could be absorbing energy. Cooling us.

@Drewski4343 covering/uncovering moonlight. but not insulating the ground. like, a piece of dark paper 20 feet above a thermometer will not insulate it

there would be a tiny fraction of insulation. but barely negligible.

and yeah @Steve Angell

I make no claim on Moonlight. I just do not know. I never properly tested it except with a magnifying glass. It did not make my hand even a tiny bit warm.

well yeah moonlight barely has any energy compared to sunlight

@Drewski4343 yes

Yet in sunlight lit paper or even wood on fire quite fast.

the best way to know is to test

yeah because the sun is magnitudes more powerful than the moon

it's like trying to light a fire by using a magnifying glass and a flashlight

that's what you're doing with the moonlight

it's just far too weak

Which is it . 90% or 99.9%. Earlier you said 10% was reflected meaning a 90% loss.

moon reflects only between 3 and 12 percent of the sunlight that hits it.

OK 97% loss.

yeah so good luck lighting a fire with it

Moonlight doesn’t reflect the suns light
It emits it’s own light which is Cold Light

Really. No heat at all or a thousand degrees. Well 3% of a thousand is still 30 and it should be at least felt. I can feel the difference in no fever and 102.

we already went over this california

there is no such thing as "cold" light

There is

We’ve already proven it

Over and over again and you can do it yourself

there is a definition though

light accompanied by little or no heat; luminescence.

is cold light

but not literally giving off cold

there is cold light ... yes

Laser is cold light in those Vacuum Chamber. The only decision is is moonlight cold light.

Explain why are objects in the moonlight colder then objects in the shade

giving off cold doesn't have meaning

that's not what it means to say something is cold though

scroll up california
