So-called moonshine is simply light reflected or re-emitted from the moon and this radiation serves to heat the earth slightly. This also varies with the phases of the moon during the month. This extra radiation is just 10**-5 that of the direct solar energy so this also gives a roughly 0.01-0.02 degree effect. 3) Stabilising the Earthâs axis. It seems likely that without the moonâs stabilising gyroscopic effect the earthâs axis would be more chaotic.
II. Some of this energy is emitted from Earth's surface back into space in the form of infrared radiation. III. Much of this infrared radiation does not reach space, however, because it is absorbed by greenhouse gases in atmosphere, and is then emitted as infrared radiation back toward the Earth's surface.This process is known as the greenhouse effect.I.
