Artificial light is not always as good as natural sunlight. There are a few types of natural sunlight bulbs that come close, only they are still missing several wavelengths that are found in natural light. These wavelengths are necessary for plant growth and vitamin D production in animals.

Human resources vs natural resources?
Human resources are people who do certain jobs. Natural resources are things that are taken from nature such as water and sunlight.
What does Wavelenght vs absorbance graph depicts in u-v spectroscopy?
A wavelength vs absorbance graph depicts in uv spectroscopy shows the different colored wavelenths of UV light and how they are absorbed and percieved, and which ones are visible and which ones are not.
Why does the sun appear brighter than a star?
The Sun is much, much closer to the Earth than any other star - eight light minutes vs. four light years for the next nearest star.
What was that made for TV movie in the 90's about a different planet with a side in the light and a side in the dark evil vs good?
The movie was White Dwarf.
What causes uneven heating of the Earth's surface?
This is caused by the earth's tilt. Vertical rays of the sun hit the earth at points between 23.5 degrees of the equator. Where ever the radiation is perpendicular to the surface, radiation is being maximized, and therefore must be transported elsewhere around the earth to account for this uneven heating. 1) the amount of sunlight falling on the surface per unit area (say square foot): thus time of day, angular displacement from vertical for the sun (how close to the poles vs the equator AND the season). 2) the amount of light energy that get absorbed vs reflected back up. (e.g., snow reflects almost all the light, sea water (dark) absorbs most) 3) the specific heat of the substance that the light is striking. (it's hard to heat up water, easy to heat stone) 4) Cloud cover.
What is the effect of sunlight vs fluorescent light on a black bean plant?
Sunlight should make it grow. Flourescent wont do anything.
How does the African violet respond to different kinds of light?
Bright vs. Dim Bright light will cause the center of the plant to grow very tightly, and can cause 'sunburns' on the leaves. Not enough light will cause the leaves to reach up (and look like a celery plant!). Natural light vs. artificial light Some plants seem to do best with natural light, and others only seem happy under regulated artificial lights! You can experiment and see what your plant likes best. The temperature also has an effect on the plants, especially variegated plants!
Can plants live with only artificial light?
Yes it is possible to grow plants using artificial light as long as the frequencies and quality of light supplied is acceptable. An extreme example of this practice is where Marijuana plants are grown indoors in an artificial environment so that they are not detected by authorities
What is the effect of sunlight vs lamp light on a flowering plant?
Lamp light will enable the flowering plant to have a photosynthesis rate 8-10 times slower than sunlight. Consequently the plant will produce lesser starch and show minimal growth or flowering. It's even possible that the plant may die.
What kind of grass is used for soccer fields?
either live or artificial, depends how much money they want to spend vs. maintainence
What are the disadvantages of artificial skin?
-It can be expensive. -Many people might not be able to receive the artificial skin due to certain allergies they might have to artificial material. -the dilemma of science vs. religion (the faith of many people might be the obstructive force for a family member/relative to receive this helpful assistance).
What is the difference between biserial and point biserial coefficient?
Dichotomous variables can be either a discrete/true dichotomy or a continuous/artificial one. Examples of discrete dichotomies are male vs female, dead vs alive. There is no underlying continuum between the groups. Continuous or artificial dichotomies are those which we assume there to be an underlying continuum but we assign individuals to a category based on some arbitrary criterion. Examples of this artificial dichotomy are pass vs fail (based on some cutoff score on a test) or short vs tall (based on some arbitrary height). A point-biserial and biserial correlation is used to correlate a dichotomy with an interval scaled variable. The difference is that the point-biserial correlation is used when the dichotomous variable is a true or discrete dichotomy and the biserial correlation is used with an artificial dichotomy.
What are the release dates for Showtime Championship Boxing - 1987 Light Heavyweight Championship Doubleheader Tarver vs- Woods and Dawson vs- Johnson?
Showtime Championship Boxing - 1987 Light Heavyweight Championship Doubleheader Tarver vs- Woods and Dawson vs- Johnson was released on: USA: 12 April 2008
Human resources vs natural resources?
Human resources are people who do certain jobs. Natural resources are things that are taken from nature such as water and sunlight.
What is an example of man vs machine?
An example of man vs machine conflict can be seen in the film "Terminator," where humans fight against advanced artificial intelligence in the form of intelligent robots to prevent them from taking over the world.
Which cicuits light the bulb better-Bulbs light better in which kind of circuits?
If you are comparing parallel vs series circuits, light bulbs produce more light in parallel circuits.
How many times is darkness vs light used in bible?
The phrase "darkness versus light" does not appear anywhere in the KJV bible.
