Does the moon absorb light during the day and emit the light at night?

Technically no, but valid guess. At night, the sun's rays reflect off the moon and back on to Earth. The reason the light is so much dimmer is because a lot of light energy is lost in the process.

How does the earth emit light?
The Earth does not emit light, it like the moon reflects light
How do scientists determine the chemical makeup of the stars?
Different chemicals emit and absorb light at various wavelengths. Astronomers can look at the wavelength of light coming from stars and determine which chemicals must be present.
What objects do not emit light on their own?
planets, moon,etc do not emit light on their own.
Is helium a greenhouse gas?
because it can absorb and re-emit the suns energy
Are stars reflected light?
No. Stars emit light.
Why would the core of a star emit light and the outer atmosphere of a star absorb it?
The core would emit light because it is hot. The outer atmosphere would absorb light because it is not completely transparent. It would also re-emit radiation itself, because of its heat.
What is the scientific tool based on how atoms absorb and emit electromagnetic radiation?
Spectroscopy is the scientific tool that is based on how atoms absorb and emit electromagnetic radiation. Spectroscopy deals with how an object's light is dispersed into its component colors or energies.
Does Money plant emit carbon dioxide during night?
no
How does UV light help see fingerprints without powder?
fingerprints are made of organic compounds that absorb UV light and then emit visible light.
What is the color of black?
Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light.
Is Black the of color?
Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light.
What substances absorb energy from an outside source and then emit some of it as visable light even after the source is removed?
phosphorescent materials do this
Why coloured light produce colour by addition and pigment produce by subtraction?
Lights are coloured by the light they emit and are additive, while pigments are coloured by the light they absorb/reflect and are subtractive.
What occurs when light strikes a metal and electrons are released?
The electrons in the electron sea absorb and re-emit the light.
Do atoms in an incandescent gas absorb or emit light?
When they exit their exited state. When an atom is bombarded by photons, it will often times absorb the photon. A photon is a unit of energy, so this energy is added to the atom, "extiting" it. However, atoms may only remain in ths excited state for a short period of time, and will eventually release the photon, reemiting it as light, and then the atom will return to its normal state.
Do trees reflect light or emit light?
It seems readily apparent that trees reflect light, since you don't see them glowing at night.
What is the emission of colored light rays during exposure to ulraviolet light?
Fluorescence. It happens when atoms' electrons absorb light at one frequency and emit at other (usually lower) frequencies. Sometimes two photons are absorbed by the same electron, and emitted as a single higher frequency, but this is not common.
