The reason why your body glows in the dark is due to a phenomenon called bioluminescence which is a result of metabolic processes that occur within our cells.
Although the glow that humans produce in the dark is just a faint glow and the faint glow is way too weak for human eyes to detect.
Humans glowing in the dark is a phenomenon, that is called bioluminescence and is the result of metabolic processes that occur within our body's cells.
The glowing in the dark in us humans though is not the same kind of glow that is seen in fireflies, although it's still a real and measurable phenomenon.
All living things, including us humans, do emit a very faint light from our body's which is due to the chemical reactions that occur within ours and other living things cells.
The light that humans emit is a very faint light and is incredibly weak and is around 1,000 times less intense than what human eyes can perceive.
The light that us humans emit can be measured with sensitive cameras.
Scientists have actually used some specialized and highly sensitive cameras to capture images of the very faint glow of humans.
And research also suggests that the intensity of the light emission from the human body also fluctuates throughout the day and it has a peak in the late afternoon and the lowest levels at night.
Scientists also believe that studying the faint light can potentially help in detecting of and monitoring of certain medical conditions.
