moonlight is colder than no light.?

30 seconds of googling taught me that full moon nights indeed tend to be colder. Turns out that this is because a full moon often coincide with clear skies. Clear skies don't conserve heat, so that's an obvious consequence.

I couldn't immediately find an explanation of the correlation between full moon and clear skies, but at least this completely destroys card_sultan's ridiculous claim that moonlight is cold.

Well yes, that's a well known phenomenon. The one that's still unclear to me is the link between full moon and clear skies.

Direct moonlight is cooler than non direct moonlight and can be tested regardless of conditions and is a slap in the face to conventional astro-priests.

Nah there's already a wiki that seems to cover this, bury it in the ball of twine to be a clue later.
Collateral damage isn't high enough yet.

id like to see their attempt at a "explanation", pretty sure its fantastical reasoning.

Inb4 divides by lambda and multiplies by 1.
