They are sort of related; however, glow in the dark materials are actually referred to as phosphorescent. The whole idea behind photoluminescence is that a material absorbs radiation (light) and then re-emits it. Phosphorescent materials absorb light, but release it at a much slower rate. Therefore, they absorb light when they are exposed to it, and then continue releasing it after the light source is removed.
Fluorescence, on the other hand, is a material that that absorbs ultraviolet radiation (such as light from a black light) and then releases visible light.

Why do fluroescent lights glow in the dark when swiched off?
A fluorescent tube contains (when operating) a plasma, and this excites phosphors coated on the inside of the tube. Some of these phosphors are phosphorescent, that is they will glow in the dark for a while due to being exposed to light. But that glow will soon cease. Other phosphors are fluorescent, that is they will glow only while excited. So the glow you observe is due to the phosphorescent particles in the coating, and they will soon diminish in brightness.
Insructions to glow in the dark caps?
To make glow-in-the-dark caps, you can purchase glow-in-the-dark paint or stickers designed for fabric. Apply the paint or stickers to the caps following the product instructions, usually involving exposure to light before glowing in the dark. Ensure the caps are clean and dry before applying the glow material for best results.
How much does glow in the dark material cost?
The cost of glow in the dark material can vary depending on the type and quantity you need. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from a few dollars to over $20 per ounce. Bulk purchases may offer lower prices per unit.
Is making water glow a chemical change or a physical change?
Making water glow is a physical change. Adding a substance like a fluorescent dye or phosphorescent material to water to make it glow involves only a physical alteration in the properties of water, not a chemical change in its molecular structure.
What happens to fluorescent minerals when light shines on them?
Fluorescent minerals absorb light energy and re-emit it as visible light in different colors. When light shines on them, they become energized and glow with vibrant colors.
Can you use fluorescent marker ink as the glow in the dark ink?
yes you can!
Difference between fluorescent and phosphorescent material?
Fluorescent material immediately glows when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, that is it fluoresces. Phosphorescent material slowly absorbs and re-emits the radiation it absorbs. This enables phosphorescent material to absorb visible light spectra to "glow in the dark" at a later time.
What material is most visible in the dark?
Phosphorescent or fluorescent materials tend to be most visible in the dark. These materials absorb light and then emit it slowly over time, making them glow in low light conditions.
How do you make fluorescent rock?
You can buy neon spray paint at a craft store. If you want to make it glow in the dark, you can buy glow-in-the-dark paint, also at a craft store.
How can you make things glow in the dark at home?
Get some glow-in-the-dark paint, or self-adhesive sticker material.
What would be a good hypothesis for glow in the dark water?
A good hypothesis for glow in the dark water could be: "If a luminescent material is added to water, then the water will glow in the dark due to the light emitted by the luminescent material when exposed to darkness."
What is the glow in the dark material called?
Phosphorescent materials.
How are some corals fluorescent?
Do you mean, "Why does coral glow in ultraviolet light?", "Why does some coral glow in the dark?", or something else. Please be more specific.
Why does cat pee glow in the dark?
Cat urine can sometimes appear to glow in the dark due to a substance called phosphorus, which can react with certain materials to produce a fluorescent effect under ultraviolet light.
Do pebbles glow in the dark?
Pebbles do not naturally glow in the dark. However, some pebbles are coated with a phosphorescent material that absorbs light and glows in the dark after being exposed to light.
How long does highlighter ink need to soak in water to make glow in the dark water?
Highlighter ink does not glow in the dark on its own. To make water glow in the dark, you would need to use a fluorescent or phosphorescent pigment designed for that purpose. These pigments are usually powders that need to be mixed with water in specific quantities and then exposed to light to charge up before they will glow in the dark.
Does fluorescent material glow under infrared light?
No, fluorescent materials typically do not glow under infrared light. Fluorescent materials absorb ultraviolet or visible light and then re-emit light at a longer wavelength, usually in the visible range. Infrared light is outside this range and does not stimulate fluorescence in these materials.
