What is the difference between sunlight&artificial light for plants?
All light travels through space in the form of photons, but not all light contains the same features. The Sun produces the most and best light for plants, but plants can also grow under man-made sources of light.IdentificationIn general, sunlight produces enough of the necessary wavelengths (those in the red and blue spectrum) for any plant to grow. Artificial light, such as that from a regular light-bulb, usually does not emit enough of the type of light required for photosynthesis, the process plants go through to make their own food.ConsiderationsSome artificial light sources are designed specifically to induce plant growth; these are called incandescent bulbs. These provide a very close imitation of natural light.FeaturesThe Sun produces light rays with about an equal amount of wavelengths from across the light spectrum, with more intensity. Artificial light focuses on just a few wavelengths.BenefitsWhile sunlight provides an optimal energy source for plants, some shady or cold cli
