A rainbow forms when sunlight is dispersed and reflected by water droplets in the atmosphere.
Direct sunlight is hotter than reflected sunlight because it delivers a concentrated amount of solar energy directly to a surface, resulting in higher temperatures. Reflected sunlight, on the other hand, scatters the energy and typically loses some intensity and heat during the reflection process. This means that surfaces illuminated by direct sunlight absorb more energy and heat up more than those illuminated by reflected sunlight.

of course it does
The moon does not generate its own light. Instead, it reflects sunlight that hits its surface back towards Earth. This reflected sunlight is what we perceive as moonlight.
On average the earth reflects about 30% of the incident sunlight.
. . . or from any heavenly body is called albedo.
Albedo refers to the amount of sunlight that is reflected off a surface, typically measured as a percentage. Higher albedo values mean more sunlight is reflected, while lower values indicate more absorption by the surface.

Sunlight is reflected by them.
Reflected sunlight.
reflected sunlight
The percentage of the sun's energy that is reflected without being changed is called albedo. It represents the ability of a surface to reflect sunlight and can vary depending on the material and color of the surface.
called albedo, and it represents the amount of sunlight that is reflected off the Earth's surface back into space. Albedo is influenced by factors such as surface type, cloud cover, and atmospheric conditions. A high albedo means more sunlight is reflected, while a low albedo means more sunlight is absorbed.
