How Does Moonlight Affect Our Daily Life?

The illumination of the moon on the Earth is governed by four factors: air clarity, cloud cover, phase of the moon, and elevation. According to C.D. "Kit" Courter, it varies by one-fifth or two-thirds of its full brightness on each day. For these reasons, the Moonlight can either be very bright or very dim depending on the season and the elevation. This article will discuss the various ways in which Moonlight affects our daily life.

To the human eye, moonlight is blue-colored, an illusion caused by the Purkinje effect. In reality, the moonlight is white due to its low albedo (bonding with the Earth). It takes 1.26 seconds for it to reach the surface of Earth. Moonlight not only illuminates the night sky, but also reduces the contrast between the stars and the background. This is a good thing for the night sky, but it can be a little difficult to see in the dark.

You can use Moonlight to mirror your gaming PC's desktop remotely. It will stream your visuals from your host PC to the client, and your keyboard and controller will receive those inputs. This way, you get a "hybrid" input/response loop. You can also use Moonlight to play PC games, even when your PC and Android phone aren't connected to the same network. The Moonlight app for Android makes this process incredibly easy, and provides help links for both devices.
