the intensity of particles of sunlight i.e photon is higher then moonlight . so particles of sunlight is converge in paper.

but the moon reflects the sunlight only not any other light
ya you are right but i tell you about intensity means quantity of particles which low in moonlight.

when we put a lens above paper and converge sunlight over it,the rays get concentrated on the paper and it burns in due to the extreme heat...but in the case of the moon it glows due to the rays of the sun reflecting on its surface but doesn't generate heat thus there is nothing to be concentrated except the faint glow of the moon and paper doesn't burn due to faint light.
