What's the difference between noctilucent and glow-in-the-dark?
From today's Word:
noctilucent (nok-tuh-LOO-suhnt) adjective
Shining at night.
[From Latin nocti- (night) + lucent (shining).]
I thought maybe noctilucent meant shining using its own power of whatever kind, but the two examples mentioned are clouds and paint, neither of which do that.
