Colour Temperature and Brightness of Moonlight

Abstract

OUR more complete knowledge of full or black-body radiation embodied in Planck's law makes it possible to speak of the temperature of radiation as well as the temperature of radiating bodies. Thus, the temperature of any visible radiation is the temperature to which a black body must be raised to emit light as nearly as possible of the same integral colour or quality as that of the radiation in question.
