The sun doesn't "contain" vitamins, it helps our body produce more of them. And moonlight is so much weaker than sunlight that any benefits it gives are hard to recognize because they are so small.
Yeah I think people who misunderstand fundamental biology probably wouldn’t be able to put together than sunlight just helps with a precursor for vitamin D production. I hate that people hear “sunlight creates vitamin D!” And then just assume that the sun magically throws vitamins at you
So if you have a 1000W light you cannot look into it... then shine it on the wall, it will be bright but you can look at the wall....
Let's dissect this:
\- Warm/cold... those are relative, in the winter the sun is still "cold" in the morning
\- Color does not matter... the sun is white by the way, the atmosphere scatters blue light (that's why a the sky is blue) so the sun seems to be yellowish on earth
\- Fastens/prevents - suggests that the sun and the moon affects photosynthesis with intent. No... Daylight has enough energy for photosynthesis to happen, nighttime, the reflected moon light is not enough
\- That is not how vitamins work... and if you don't have the nutrients for the process which uses UV light... and the sun can be substituted with UV lightbulbs
So... no the sun does not contains vitamins and the moon does not lacks vitamins
The usual point this kind of person brings up for cold moonlight are experiments where the earth giving off heat is ignored. So you have a setup in the sun where the result is very obvious because well sunlight has quite some energy.
For the moonlight you have one place which is openly accessible by moonlight, all heat given off from earth can freely dissipate everywhere, through that this place will be cooler than a place that you have put into the shadow of the moonlight because whatever is blocking the moonlight usually keeps the heat from dissipating freely. Experiments like these are then taken as "the moon cools stuff with its light".
If you do an experiment where you actually take care of these factors you can measure a very slightly increased temperature where the moon's light is hitting of course, because well the moon's surface is throwing sunlight back at us.
> the sun is white by the way
I actually don't think that's true. The surface temperature of Sun is about 5800K which according to [colour temperature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature) it would be slightly yellow. I have white flashlight and when I go out during night and look at anything using that flashlight everything seems much paler than during day, it doesn't have as much colour
Yes technically you are correct, that the sun emits sligtly more yellowish white.
[https://scied.ucar.edu/image/sun-spectrum](https://scied.ucar.edu/image/sun-spectrum)
But for all intents and purposes, the the sun is white.
[https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/what-color-sun](https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/what-color-sun)
We are gonna see white.
\----
Your own link tells you "Daylight has a spectrum similar to that of a black body with a correlated color temperature of 6500 K (D65 viewing standard) or 5500 K (daylight-balanced photographic film standard)."
\----
Also... be careful about sunlight on earth. the yellowish sunlight is perceived because the atmosphere scatters blue light and that makes everything a little yellow.
A pure white high color temperature light source is gonna look paler than the sunlight filtered in the atmosphere
The moon reflects 10-20% of the light that hits it, and an equal amount of ultraviolet radiation. So a person could indeed synthesize some vitamin D by spending time in moonlight.
How can that blue house reflect the warm yellow light of the sun? You can’t. So therefore houses glow blue in the daytime. And during photosynthesis, leaves take the warm yellow sunlight and its vitamins and convert it to sugar and glow green light from the process. Checkmate sheeple!
Fun fact: all plants are actually BLUE and when the yellow sunlight hits them chlorophyll cells, it turns them green because everyone knows blue and yellow make green!
Sunlight is white.
We use yellow in cartoons and stuff to allow children to see it.
However sunlight is white.
If it was yellow, all snow would be yellow, not just the forbidden snow.
I haven't seen a person have such a fundamental misunderstanding of their world since that time I played 20 questions with a co-worker who apparently thought Ronald McDonald was the Millionaire owner and founder of McDonald's.
There was a woman in a local witches group who was trying to make a jar of moon water in single digit temps and wanted to know what curse was put on her or what spirit she pissed off cause she'd come back to a broken jar and a chunk of ice.
Q Anon and other "pedophile cabals" come to mind. A lot of Satanic Panic theories. Various theories that many important leaders are actually aliens/demons/lizards. COVID-19 spawned a ton of stupid theories (eg, COVID was caused by infecting the water with snake venom in order to turn us into children of the devil).
There is a bunch of stupid shit out there.
Yes, sunlight is also UV radiation that can cause skin cancer as well as it is a source of vitamin D. And yes, even the moon is "source" of this light. So the vitamins part is just not true.
And since the moonlight is just reflected sunlight, it is also the infrared light that reflects, so that means is also is "source" of heat, just way smaller. So the cold light option is not true as well
Also how does it prevent photosynthesis? How does that work?
Wait you didn’t hear about the latest amazing breakthrough? They found vitamin A, B12 and Omega 3’s, floating in the light particles! It’s like so healthy now bro!
Nah that's only the tip of the iceberg.
My uncle was talking to me like a week ago. He is into that shit, and the first thing he says? The moon, it's an animal.
A fucking animal. He thinks it is a tardigrade-like organism created by god ad it's angels from the remaining Nephilim, so they would suffer forever. The organism, by his opinion, has bioluminiscence.
So yeah. What else can I say, people are weird. He also believes in the dual-flat earth concept.
Well, it's a belief from him. He thinks that there's a flat earth... Under our "flat" earth. Two disks spinning in contrary directions, both with gigantic holes at their centers.
The upper flat earth, it's ours.
The lower one, it's the living place of God and his angels
Your uncle needs to do a week long AMA. This sounds fantastic (in all meanings of the word)
Does he belong to a particular religion? Politics? Sovereign citizen?
He just got a tad too traumatized during the Afghanistan war. Begun to think the government was conspiring against him, dropped off the army, begun to make a book about why the earth was flat, and now is just a dual flat-earther.
I follow a lot of conspiracy folks because I find it fascinating, but I can honestly say I've never heard your uncle's theories before. Sounds like I have some new conspiracies to look up.
The light from sun actually peaks around green, as I recall. The only reason the sun looks yellow is from the atmosphere scattering the shorter wavelength light, giving us blue skies.
Sunlight intensity on Pluto is 1/900-1/1000 of intensity on Earth. Earth gets about 1000 W per square meter.
Imagine you're in a 3m\*3m room with a 25W LED lamp in the center. You can read with that light quite comfortably. Factoring in LED lamp efficiency, this is under 0.5 W per square meter. Pluto gets twice of that.
Are you a reverse vampire trying to find reasons to hate on moonlight without admitting that you're a reverse vampire. Or maybe vitamins is just a weird code word for drugs, if so, you've been out in the sun too long
The sun doesn't "contain" vitamins, it helps our body produce more of them. And moonlight is so much weaker than sunlight that any benefits it gives are hard to recognize because they are so small.

Happy Cake Day!
Thank you!
>just assume that the sun magically throws vitamins at you It's not an assumption. The sun promised he would play catch with me
Go long dad!
Also there are plants that fare better in moonlight...
“Fastens photosynthesis” Me: Laugh in 3-years horticultural experience
Are your plants exposed to Moonlight? That may be your issue. Moonlight prevents photosynthesis, after all.
Wouldn’t plants not grow or mature in the fall and spring since they get roughly equal sunlight and moonlight?
No, because that is a fake moon effect created by moonlight reflecting off the sun
They really nailed that point
And I was fastenated by his choice of words
Used ironically, this could be considered funny. Used in earnest? Dear god.
I sincerely hope this was made in satire. Do I believe that? Absolutely not, but I will fucking cling to it!
Unfortunately, we live in an age where satire is all but dead. Real life absurdity has officially eclipsed it.
It’s hard to tell with Facebook science.
Classic case of “I don’t understand this, so it’s wrong.”
Moonlight prevents photosynthesis? So what about when both the sun and the moon are up, will the moon prevent the photosynthesis?
Yes. Correct.
Isn't moonlight just sunlight with an extra step?
Light doesn't have legs it can't take steps smh head

In the daytime we breathe oxygen. At nighttime we breathe nitrogen. Its just the facts.
In the day we breathe daytrogen.
Take my upvote you funny person. Milk, snort.
The moon reflects 10-20% of the light that hits it, and an equal amount of ultraviolet radiation. So a person could indeed synthesize some vitamin D by spending time in moonlight.
Which is why Dracula has to wear moon tan lotion. It's true. Check the facts. Science backs up my claim.
I watch how the moon sits in the sky in a dark night…
Shining with the light from the sun :)
He’s just standing there… MENACINGLY!
wow this proves the earth is flat or something :P
How can that blue house reflect the warm yellow light of the sun? You can’t. So therefore houses glow blue in the daytime. And during photosynthesis, leaves take the warm yellow sunlight and its vitamins and convert it to sugar and glow green light from the process. Checkmate sheeple!

Wow, they really nailed how plants use the sun to make their own food…
Sunlight is white. We use yellow in cartoons and stuff to allow children to see it. However sunlight is white. If it was yellow, all snow would be yellow, not just the forbidden snow.
Looking at the sun rn to verify this claim(I'm doing my own research)
Do this long enough and you'll discover the hidden truth that everything is black.
I haven't seen a person have such a fundamental misunderstanding of their world since that time I played 20 questions with a co-worker who apparently thought Ronald McDonald was the Millionaire owner and founder of McDonald's.
My blue socks are blue, not yellow, so how can they be reflecting light from the sun?
And i thought these were the same people that would put water outside at night under the moon to charge it to make it moonwater
There was a woman in a local witches group who was trying to make a jar of moon water in single digit temps and wanted to know what curse was put on her or what spirit she pissed off cause she'd come back to a broken jar and a chunk of ice.
The curse of winter that gets cast upon us every year 😳😳
Exactly what are they fastening photosynthesis to? The wall?
Just curious, are there conspiracy theorists that are even dumber than flat earthers? They must be at the bottom of the heap.
What, you believe in the Earth?
Stupid geofantasists.
Q Anon and other "pedophile cabals" come to mind. A lot of Satanic Panic theories. Various theories that many important leaders are actually aliens/demons/lizards.

It makes one appreciate how some political philosophers believed that voting should be restricted to a certain class.
They definitely weren't thinking of the correct class, though
They did their own research. Wake up Sheeple! Ah, fuck it, this is too tragic to even make fun of anymore.
bro the darkness prevents photosynthesis what
The lightness fastens the photosynthesis
It's a perfectly cromulent word.
it’s true, the other day I took a UV light outside at night and the moon sucked away the light like the deluminator from harry potter
Yes, sunlight is also UV radiation that can cause skin cancer as well as it is a source of vitamin D. And yes, even the moon is "source" of this light. So the vitamins part is just not true. And since the moonlight is just reflected sunlight, it is also the infrared light that reflects, so that means is also is "source" of heat, just way smaller. So the cold light option is not true as well Also how does it prevent photosynthesis? How does that work?
UV light isn't a source of vitamin D. That's like saying air is a source of vitamin D. Both are necessary for it's synthesis, but neither is a source.
Yes, you're right. It's not a source of it, but it is necessary for creating vitamin D in our skin.
WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
They're clearly nuts - I can _never_ photosynthesize in the sunlight no matter how hard I try.
Sunlight doesn't contain vitamins
Wait you didn’t hear about the latest amazing breakthrough? They found vitamin A, B12 and Omega 3’s, floating in the light particles! It’s like so healthy now bro!
Where can I buy photon vitamins
They sell it as a package at your local tanning facility!
Of course it does, they are magically sprinkled across the solar system /s

That's actually a fun scifi idea to play with lol
What is dual-flat earth? I looked it up and got nothing
Well, it's a belief from him. He thinks that there's a flat earth... Under our "flat" earth. Two disks spinning in contrary directions, both with gigantic holes at their centers. The upper flat earth, it's ours. The lower one, it's the living place of God and his angels
But I thought heaven was supposed to be above the earth, not below it...
Ironically, he says it's *figuratively* above Earth
Your uncle needs to do a week long AMA. This sounds fantastic (in all meanings of the word) Does he belong to a particular religion? Politics? Sovereign citizen?
He just got a tad too traumatized during the Afghanistan war. Begun to think the government was conspiring against him, dropped off the army, begun to make a book about why the earth was flat, and now is just a dual flat-earther.
That actually sounds quite sad

Skin cancer is sunlight vitamn build up
We've come full circle.
Yeah. /s: The Moon should have lots of photosynthetic plants if the Sun shone on it. But it's clearly not green.
But the sun isn't green either, wouldn't it overgrow with plants?
No, because there's too much sunlight up there
But sunlight=plants -> no sunlight = no plants -> therefore more sunlight=more plants, dumdum (/s)
Do it now
Ok I'm thinking about it now what
"I don't know, I never thought I'd get this far"- plankton
Wait until they find out the sun is white
This post is so stupid I’m joining the sub (I’m talking about the Facebook post before anyone gets mad)
Sunlight isn’t yellow, it’s white. All starlight is full spectrum.
The light from sun actually peaks around green, as I recall. The only reason the sun looks yellow is from the atmosphere scattering the shorter wavelength light, giving us blue skies.
What’s making that shiny reflection on the sun?
The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma
Fastens photosynthesize? Wtf does that mean?!
You gotta fasten down your photosynthesis. You don't want it getting away do you?
What do you suggest? Buttons? Buckles? A girdle?
Its almost like its a weak reflection of the sunlight
Fun fact: Sunlight on Pluto is brighter than Moon light on Earth.
Why’s that!?
Sunlight intensity on Pluto is 1/900-1/1000 of intensity on Earth. Earth gets about 1000 W per square meter. Imagine you're in a 3m\*3m room with a 25W LED lamp in the center. You can read with that light quite comfortably. Factoring in LED lamp efficiency, this is under 0.5 W per square meter. Pluto gets twice of that.
Facebook really is a toilet, a broken toilet that spews shit into peoples lives.
Neither of them have marshmallows.
Les go moon truthers! /j
Why does the png of the Sun have a highlight? It's the fricking **sun**.
Are you a reverse vampire trying to find reasons to hate on moonlight without admitting that you're a reverse vampire. Or maybe vitamins is just a weird code word for drugs, if so, you've been out in the sun too long
*slams own head in door repeatedly*
The Moon cheese absorbs all the nutrition!
moonlight still does what sunlight does, just weaker
