What objects in space emit or reflect light?
sun, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and meteors
Does a star reflect or emit light?
make their own light. what would make light then? the sun gives off light and it's a star.
Are candles and campfire luminous objects?
Yes because they emit or give off light
Do stars reflect light from moon or sun?
No. Stars emit their own light.
Does the moon have own light?
the light from the moon is a reflection of the light from the sun
What are objects that emit light?
Objects that emit light are usually referred to as incandescent.
Characteristics of non luminous?
Objects that do not emit or give out light or energy of their own are referred to as non-luminous objects.
What objects do not emit light?
wood
What is a self luminous object that shines through the release of energy?
the objects which emit light of their own........example:sun,burning candle etc....,
What objects in space emit or reflect light?
sun, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and meteors
Are satellites luminous or non-luminous?
Non-luminous. Objects which produce light of their own or give out or emit their own light are called luminous objects. Objects which do not produce light of their own, on the other hand, are called non-luminous objects. Luminous objects are objects like stars, sun and other celestial bodies which give out their own light. Objects surrounding us are not such light emitting objects. Therefore, we are surrounded by non-luminous objects.
How can objects which do not emit light be seen?
By definition, something which does not emit light cannotbe seen. However, it can be observed, in that its effects such as through gravity and electromagnetism can be detected.
Do Quasers emit light?
Yes, quasars are the most luminous objects in the universe.
Does a star reflect or emit light?
make their own light. what would make light then? the sun gives off light and it's a star.
Why can't visible light be used to study prestellar objects?
Those objects would be too cold to emit significant amounts of visible light.
Why do planets and moons seem to appear shiny?
They reflect light from the sun back to observers on earth, unlike the stars, which emit their own light. Everything in our solar system is `lit up` by our sun, which emits light. The planets and moons (along with comets and other objects) don't emit light themselves, but are illuminated by the sun.
How does a radio telescope see objects which are too dim for an ordinary telescope?
Radio Telescope observe light of a different wavelength then optical light. Radio waves have a longer wavelength then visible light. Some interstellar objects barley emit any light in the visible spectrum but emit a significant amount of radiation in the radio spectrum. Radio telescopes enable us to view objects which emit in the radio spectrum.
