Water Bending Pamphlet
We know that water bending gets stronger at night; Katara says as much at the end of ALTA Book 1. However, the Moon is only in the night sky 50% of the time with the other 50% in the daytime. Since Katara probably has better sleeping habits than me, I’d assume she goes to bed before midnight. Therefore, she would only see the Moon at night about 25% of the time.
It’s a common misconception to think that the Moon only appears at night. In fact, it is more likely for people to see the Moon during the day because people are awake more in the day.
Then why is water bending stronger at night, if the Moon is only there 25% of the time?
The answer is interference from the Sun. We know that water bending and fire bending can interfere with each other in the case of a solar eclipse. The Moon moves in front of the Sun and blocks the “Fire Bending WIFI Signal”. water bending is interfering with fire bending, so it would make sense if it works both ways. Fire and Water are usually considered opposites, so it makes sense that water bending would be weaker during the day and at full strength during the night.
