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.
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.
of course it does
reflected
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.

Reflected earthshine. Which is sunlight reflected from earth.
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.
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.
Sunlight is reflected by them.

Reflected sunlight.
Approximately 1% of the sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The rest of the sunlight is either reflected back into space or absorbed by land, water, and other surfaces. In total, about 30% of incoming solar energy is reflected back, leaving around 70% to be absorbed by the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Thus, the percentage of sunlight specifically absorbed by organisms is relatively small compared to the total solar energy received.
