Here is some science fer ya
@CrimsonEcho. What you are saying about the moon isn’t true. It is not a light source. I saved many links during my years of study. But I have a new phone now and they are all gone. But if I make a definitive statement I promise you I read it from a reputable source and still would have verified it the best I could. And our personal experience counts too.
And all the info has been discussed so many times before.
When I search for links I learned from now different results appear in google. So I’m sorry I don’t justify everything I know to be true from my research and experience.
I have read moonlight is less than 1 candlepower or lumen. It is a reflection not a light source.
It’s actually only 1/4 as bright as 1 candle.
A full moon on a clear night is tremendously bright (high lumen value), however the lux received on the Earth is about
1/4 of a lumen per square meter. In comparison, a light bulb will have an illumination of approximately
50 lux, while direct sunlight can get up to
130,000 lux at the Earth's surface.Sep 18, 2015
