The Moon Colour Paradox

Показать описание

When you look at the Moon at through the window, it glows a dazzlingly white, but if you were on the Moon's surface, the Moon would seem as dark as asphalt. Cameras are still vulnerable to this contradiction. When you take a photo of the Moon at night and analyse the photograph, the Moon is white, but if take a photograph from the Moon's surface you will get that the Moon is grey. How is this possible? That is what will be explained in this video.

Where I obtained the luminous flux value for the Sun, the luminous efficacy of the Sun and the distance the Earth is from the Sun. This was also used to calculate the irradiance and illuminance on the surface of the
Moon.

Where I obtained the figure the human body has a radiant flux of 100 W.

Where I obtained the frequencies of light the human eye is sensitive too.

Rough value for the luminous efficacy of incandescent lights.

Rough value for the luminous efficacy of compact fluorescent lamps.

Rough value for the luminous efficacy of incandescent lights.

Where I got the maximum irradiance during the day. I assume the sunlight maintains the same luminous efficacy after getting filtered by the atmosphere.

Where I obtained that photoreceptors adjust the sensitivity based on the light levels.
