Earth doesn't emit visible light, but it does emit infrared radiation, thanks to the hot molten core.
Hang on, let's get something straight here.
The sun does not reflect light like the moon does. The light we see coming from the sun is created by changes that release energy that are taking place within the sun itself and consuming the material of the sun. The sun is not taking light that originated from somewhere else.
Are you sure? The Moon is also not reflecting, if it was we would burn...it is re-emitting and since it requires the Moon to do so, it lays claim to the light as source.

Yes, the moon is reflecting.
Why do you think we would burn?
And the moon is not a light source because the moon is not the SOURCE of the light.
Then the Sun is not the source either...only closer to it perhaps.
That's because Kylie just performed necromancy on it after AV brought it up a little bit ago in this thread.
Did you watch this:
?
Sun emits light.Incorrect. The sun is the source because the light itself is coming from components of the sun.
Sun emits light.
Light hits moon.
Light is re-emitted ... not reflected per se ... as proprietary (now belonging to the moon) light.
You'll have to watch the video.If the moon was re-emitting the light, then the moon would be either fluorescent or phosphorescent. In both of these, an atom absorbs a photon, bumping it up to a higher energy level. This higher level is unstable, and the atom soon reverts back to a lower energy state, emitting energy once again. But the moon doesn't do this.
You'll have to watch the video.
I'm not going to break it down into microseconds and discuss it frame by frame.
If you don't want to watch the video, fine.
Just accuse me of something stupid and move on.
I'll consider the source.
Such a drama queen.
It is if one is unschooled in critical thinking, has had little or no practice at constructing organised reports, or tuition in precis writing. We could say there are two types of people in the World: those who like articles in Nature and those who enjoy YouTube videos. Never the twain shall meet . . . in understanding.I'm not asking you to analyse every individual frame. Just summarise the main points. It's not hard.
