Generally, the more light, the more plant growth. Color is more related to the type and amount of nutriments or fertilizer in the soil. ....More Info Amount of sunlight does affect growth and LEAF colour of plants. Sometimes flower colour is affected as well. Certain plants do better in shady, low-light locations than in full sun locations. Shade loving plants planted in hot sunny locations often have pale, semi-transparent leaves sometimes with brown dry edges (water is evaporating too fast from the plant and too intense sunlight is 'bleaching' colour, basically dehydration and sunburn is occurring.), and may grow thin and weak. Sun loving plants planted in shady low-light locations often have darker or lighter coloured leaves, fewer & smaller flowers and can look weak and thin. Greatly reduced sunlight for sun-loving plants can also stunt growth.
Flower colour is determined by plant genetics. Inappropriate sunlight may slightly alter flower colour to a paler or deeper shade of the same colour and NOT change from red to white. Example: "Nellie Moser", a Clematis, grows well in both sunny and shady locations. Flower is a much deeper shade of pink when grown in the shade.

How does the amount of light affect how plants grow?
Plants are autotrophs, they need light energy to prepare chemical energy and this is called photosythesis...plants need sunlight for its growth and development.
Does water affect plants?
yeah. But with the correct amount of sunlight.
Does sunlight affect the growth of a plant in any specific way?
Sunlight influences the growth of plants through a process known as photosynthesis. It gives plants the energy necessary for them to manufacture energy and therefore grow.
How haze affect the growth of vegetables?
Haze will block some sunlight from reaching the plants, so it will slow the growth to some extent.
How come do the sunlight don't affect the growth of plants?
I'm not really sure what you're saying, but sunlight is necessary to plant growth. It provides the energy needed for plants to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
How does photo period affect plants?
Different crops require different climatic conditions, temperature and photoperiods for their growth and completion of their life cycle. Photoperiods are related to the duration of sunlight. Growth of plants and flowering are dependent on sunlight.
How does weather affect the growth of plants?
Depending on the type of plant they need certain amounts of sunlight, rain, and can only stand a certain amount of temperature. So going through the different seasons plants will come and go.
Does sunlight increase the growth rate of plants?
How dose sunlight increase plants
Do pigments affect plant growth?
Yes, pigments can affect plant growth since plants absorb energy from the sunlight at different rates depending on the pigments each plant has.
How does sunlight affect the ability of plants to survive?
Without sunlight, plants can not survive.
How does no water affect plants growth?
When a plant has no water the root dries up. In order for a plant to grow it needs water and sunlight
Do different light intensities affect plant growth?
Yes. Some plants prefer direct sunlight and some need less.
