Did you know a full moon is 9 times brighter than a half moon
Here's a more accurate breakdown:
- Significantly Brighter: A full moon is indeed much brighter than a half moon, somewhere around 6 to 8 times brighter.
- Reason for the Difference: It all boils down to the illuminated area and shadows. During a full moon, the entire side facing
Earth is bathed in sunlight, reflecting a larger and brighter image. In contrast, a half moon only shows half the illuminated surface, with a significant portion in shadow, making it appear dimmer.
So, while 9 times might not be the exact precision, a full moon definitely outshines a half moon by a substantial margin.
