Moonlight
Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOO : Moonlight
Moonlight is the light that is perceived as coming from the Moon. Moonlight is in fact sunlight reflected from the Moon. The intensity of moonlight varies greatly depending on the current lunar phase, but even the full moon provides only a faint illumination of about 0.2 lx, so the full moon is about 500,000 times fainter than the sun. One cannot read books or discern colors under moonlight alone.
Moonlight is often considered more romantic than other types of light.
Moonlighting is working at a second, lesser, job after the daytime job.
