How Do Glow-in-the-Dark Stars Store Photons?
Most objects do not store photons in this way. As soon as light hits the object, the photons are bounced back to our eyes or absorbed. We see the wavelengths that get reflected. As noted above, not every object behaves in this manner. The glow-in-the-dark stars can store some of the photons absorbed by them for later use. As long as light hits glow-in-the-dark stars, they continue to store photons for later use. The reader should think of these stars as being able to store light energy in the same way a rechargeable battery can store electricity.
