Moonlight is almost entirely reflected sunlight, with very small amounts of reflected starlight and earthlight as well. As such, it radiates at the same continuous spectrum as the sun, though it won't have the bright emission lines that the sun emits.

∙ 6y agoThe Moon does NOT emit light. To emit light you have to be a source of light and the Moon is not a source of light.
The Moon REFLECTS light. The light it reflects comes from the Sun (which does emit light).

When the flashlight is turned on electrical energy is changed to which type of energy?
Heat to make the filament glow white hot and emit light (electromagnetic radiation).
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
Infrared radiation is what type of energy?
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
What is the release of energy by particles of matter that have absorbed extra energy called?
Radiation. Different levels of energy dictate the type of radiation that is emitted. Extremely excited particles might emit visible light or even x-rays while particles that are not very excited might emit weak radio waves. This range from weak radiation to strong radiation is called the electromagnetic spectrum.
Long wavelength and a low frequency is what type of radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation
What type of energy do stars emit?
Our sun emits mostly visible and ultra-violet radiation
What type of energy does a pulsar emit?
A Pulsar is highly magnetised, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
What type of radiation does P-32 emit?
The radioactive decay of Phosphorus-32 emits only betaparticles (i.e. electrons) with a halflife of slightly longer than two weeks. No electromagnetic radiation at all is emitted.
When the flashlight is turned on electrical energy is changed to which type of energy?
Heat to make the filament glow white hot and emit light (electromagnetic radiation).
What type of monitor does not emit electromagnetic fields?
CRT
What type of radiation does air conditioners emit?
Air conditioners are not designed to emit any electromagnetic radiation. If an old one does, it's usually in the form of radio waves, coming from the unintentional sparking inside an old motor, and causing raspy noise in nearby AM radios.
What type of radiation do nuclear weapons emit?
Nuclear weapons emit nuclear radiation, with gamma radiation being the most common and dangerous.
What type of radiation do stars emit?
Electromagnetic radiation is the primary solar radiation, which ranges from UV through the visible spectrum into the infrared (IR), including long radio waves.
What type of electromagnetic radiation is used in street lights?
Street lamps are designed to emit visible light. Some of them do this by first emitting ultraviolet radiation that is converted to visible light by a coating on the inside of the light bulb.
Infrared radiation is what type of energy?
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
