The planets do not emit light, they reflect sunlight.
The moon and planets reflect sunlight, they do not produce light.
Planets shine because they reflect sunlight that falls on them. The amount of shine or brightness of a planet depends on its size, distance from the sun, and the composition of its atmosphere. Additionally, the reflective properties of the planet's surface also play a role in how brightly it shines.
No planets reflect light from their host star (sun)
Planets and comets shine because of reflected light because they do not produce their own light. Stars are enormous balls of gas that are undergoing fusion which releases a very large amount of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light. So stars shine because they produce their own light and not because they reflect light.

SUN A DOY for light
They don't. They reflect light from the sun.
Planets are heavenly bodies that do not shine their own light. They reflect light from the sun, which is why we can see them in the night sky.
The light comes from the reflection of the suns light off their surface. It may seem like there is not enough light to make them shine so much, but compared to the night sky, there is enough reflected light off their surfaces for us to see detail in the moon and planets.
Planets and moons do not produce their own light. They shine brightly because they reflect sunlight. The reflection of sunlight off their surfaces is what makes them visible and appear to shine in the night sky.
Mercury shines by reflecting light from just one single star: our Sun.
The light comes from the reflection of the suns light off their surface. It may seem like there is not enough light to make them shine so much, but compared to the night sky, there is enough reflected light off their surfaces for us to see detail in the moon and planets.
