Does light effect the direction of growth of a plant?
Plants need light and they will grow towards where they receive an optimal amount; plants will face where the light is. You can experiment on your own by growing your own plant and using a desk lamp as the light source. As the plant grows, it will lean towards and face the light source directly.
Why does the limb of the Sun appears darker than the center?
When you face the flashlight towards you, you get the full intensity of the light while when you face it away from you you get some light but not all.
Why do leaves face towards the sun?
Plants grow naturally towards the strongest source of light, this is called phototropism. They do this in order to maximise their exposure to the sun and increase the amount of photosysnthesis (and therefore growth). This is a survival mechansim.An example of this is plants close to a window will always grow towards the window (for more light); most people simply turn the plant around to balance the "lobsided" growth effect that it creates.

What will happen to the shoots of the plant if it only gets light from 1 direction?
its because that green plant has the same colour as the the plant . therefore the answer is a yes . it does help a plant to grow well . the other thing is that green light helps the plant to absorb sunlight to photosynthesize . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am afraid the previous answer is misleading. Plants can grow towards the light because they make a hormone called auxin. This passes down the shoot from the tip and concentrates on the side away from the light. Here, the auxin makes the cells grow longer, causing the shoot to bend more on the shaded side and so grow towards the light. Green light is not absorbed by plants but is transmitted or reflected by them. This is why plants look green. The best colours for photosynthesis are red and blue light.

What is another word for lunar surface?
You could call the surface the "face" if you don't mind that it does not specifically restrict the meaning to that which is visible. Face is used in the sense of that part of a celestial body that is turned towards you. Surface (literally, upon or above the face) is that which you can see, that which reflects light.
