Moonlight’s Influence Questioned by Astronomers
The text argues moonlight is just reflected sunlight and not as potent as commonly believed. It cites that it would take 618000 full moons to equal the sun’s light and that the moon’s heat is minuscule, with heat from a full moon far below the sun's daily output, reducing moonlight to little influence on earthly affairs.
