Yes. The reason we see the Moon, and certain planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn can be seen with the naked eye) is because of sunlight reflected from them.

Can rainbows be formed by the sun breaking up moonlight?

No. Rainbows are formed by the refraction of light due to water vapour in the atmosphere. While you can have 'moonbows' caused by moonlight (sunlight reflected by the moon), it still requires light + water vapour. Sunlight + moonlight alone, cannot form one.


Moon light is caused by?

reflected sunlight


How is moonlight sunlight?

When the sunlight falls on the surface of the moon, then moon reflect that light towards the surroundings and then this reflected light falls on our eyes and the we say moon is lightning.


How is photokeratitis caused?

by excess exposure to UV light. This can occur with sunlight, suntanning lamps, or a welding arc. It is called snowblindness because the sunlight is reflected off of the snow.


Is moonlight created by the sun or the moon?

Without light from the sun, there would be no moonlight. But, without the moon, there would be no moonlight, too.So, the answer is that moonlight occurs when sun reflects off the surface of the moon.It's kind of like the question of which came first--the chicken or the egg. In this case, though, it can reasonably be said that moonlight originates with the sun; thus, it is caused by the sun.


Why mars shines and why you see a reddish light?

Mars shines by reflected sunlight. The red colour is caused by iron oxides, very similar to rust really.


Can something be powered by the moon?

The moon reflects light from the sun. Something that is powered by light could be powered by moonlight. However, moonlight is much less intense than sunlight so most things that run on sunlight would not work well (if at all) if they just used moonlight. But yes, someone could design something that ran on moonlight. It would also be possible to power something using tidal energy, and tides are at least partially caused by the Moon. this is the person that asked the question and that is a good answer and very quick answer too thank you

Why there's a circle around the moon?

a circle of light around the Moon or Sun, caused by light refracting from ice crystals in the atmosphereRings around the moon are caused when moonlight passes through thin clouds of ice crystals high in Earth's atmosphere. As moonlight passes through the ice crystals, it is bent in a way similar to light passing through a lens. The shape of the ice crystals causes the moonlight to be focused into a ring. This is similar to the way water droplets in the lower atmosphere can bend sunlight to create a rainbow. by adeel Muslim


What is required for a sound wave to be reflected?

It has to have a hard surface to bounce off of. :)Apex Not necessarily. The reflector is the surface of a medium of greater density than that through which the incident sound travels, and it can be the surface of water, or a density-boundary caused by sharp temperature or salinity differences in the sea.


Why does skin turn darker when exposed to sunlight?
