Question
Can plants on earth photosynthesize from reflected light of the moon?
They could in principle, since a photon of sunlight reflected from the Moon has just as much energy as a photon coming directly from the Sun. But the Moon is so much fainter than the Sun that, in practice, trying to do photosynthesis from moonlight is not a viable option. David Morrison
