How to See in the Dark

Can humans really see in the dark? Not if it's pitch black, but if there is some light, then yes-it's possible to see in the dark. Being able to "see" in the dark can come in handy, especially if the electricity goes out.

Instructions

    • 1

      Go outside at night or turn off all the lights in your home. There will probably be some light from a street light or the moon. Even if it's only a little bit of light, it should be enough to help you see.

    • 2

      Allow 10 to 20 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the low light. If you look at a light source during this time, it will take longer for your eyes to adjust.

    • 3

      Look around. Everything will be black and white-no color.

    • 4

      Keep your eyes moving. This allows for better vision than if you focus on one spot for too long.

    • 5

      Experiment with different amounts of light to determine how well you can "see" in the dark.

Tips & Warnings

  • Try this out in a place you are very familiar to get started. It's easier to see in the dark if you know your environment.

  • Don't look directly at a light source. This will diminish your ability to see in the dark.
