Moon it's own source of light

[Landon Caeli]

So i posted a photo of a street light and transformers reflecting the light of the street light and also the moon.

So when the moon is compared to the two types of examples, the street light or the transformer reflecting the street light. The moon looks just like the street light and nothing like the transformer reflecting the street light.

I think that might be due to the magnitude of the sun's power. They say you can fit 1.3 million earth's into the sun, that's how big it is... Anything that massive, which also happens to to be constantly nuclear, is going reflect more light than a streetlight can even produce.

It’s called radiative cooling, if I recall correctly. You can look it up if you want the exact details, but basically objects radiate heat from the day at night, which can cause the area around them to be hotter at night.

This explanation doesn't work. The moonlit ground would be warmer, as the ground the sunlight shines on would actually be carrying more radiation than the shade in the daytime, which means wherever the moonlight shone would be warmer. There is no viable explanation for the shade of moonlight to be warmer than where moonlight itself shines, unless moonlight is a "cold" light that is given off as an opposite to sunlight, as FEers claim. This point is very interesting and I havent seen it actually accurately debunked, yet.

It does the exact same thing on nights when the Moon isn't out.

And yes, it has been debunked.

The moon does not give off it's own light, that would be silly.
That radiance you are seeing is emitting from the New Jerusalem Battlestation hidden inside the moon.

Hope this clears things up.

 

[Petros2015]

... where are they planning on parking that thing anyway?

I'm saying what FEers say, I never said I believe it.

 

[Petros2015]

Understood - I'm just having fun in general

 

[Shrewd Manager]

Lol. I assume you believe the earth to be flat too?

Nice dodge.

 

[Shrewd Manager]

The same way it illuminates everything. What an odd question.

Oh no. Blindness is like leprosy.

Has anyone posted Pink Floyd yet?

"There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun." - Eclipse 1973.

 

[lasthero]

Oh no. Blindness is like leprosy.

Fire is like pizza.

I can say random, meaningless things, too.

 

[Lost4words]

Nice dodge.

Only asking my friend.

Perhaps you might answer the question as to interpretation of Gen 1:16, to wit:

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Now, if a man's going to have trouble accepting the plain meaning of such a simple statement on God's creation, that man might want to confess to Babylonian idolatry and drop any pretense of being 'of the Book'.

The lesser light comes as a reflection from the greater light. Can you not see this?

If we are to read it literally, does that mean you read 'all' scripture literally?

This guy has all the answers, right? Even explains why people believe what they believe... even though you could probably get the real reasons that people believe what they believe.. if you asked them and didn't assume.

Anyway, I digress.

His conclusion was that the items in the moonlight were cooler because the sky was cooler.

Well, if he had of modified his testing he could have done as the video below shows.. and left the shaded object open to the sky as well as the object in the moonlight...

I do like the fact that this video shows the measuring of the surface temperature of what appears to be a metal object. If you are aware of how fast heat is transmitted through metal.. or loses its energy.. you will understand why I am intrigued by the fact that a metal object can have this large of a temperature difference in such a close proximity.

Anyway... In my opinion.. this video debunks the "the sky is cooling" idea.

In the end.. best to just do this for yourself.

The sun would have to be opposite me. It should be in the sky, on the opposite side of me than the dark side that I see... Yet, the sun is not even up yet.

It's never anyplace but " up". It's just not shining on your part of the planet yet. It is however shining on part of the moon. Ever see them both at once? What happens then? The moon is less visible because of the brightness of the sun, but in reality if you are seeing only part of the moon, the earth is still blocking the direct light of the sun. I think I got that right.

Don't know if this is what you mean.. but the phases of the moon are not created by the shadow of the earth or the earth blocking the sun on the moon.

Correct. That would be a lunar eclipse.

What are they created by then?

 

[Yttrium]

What are they created by then?

The Sun shines on one side of the Moon. The angles between the Sun, Earth and Moon determine how much of that side we see. Thus the phases.
