Do airplanes reflect light

Answer 1

In the sense that any shiny surface reflects light, yes. Of course, all airplanes have varying numbers of shiny surfaces, depending on whether they are painted, what color they are painted, whether the aluminum is polished, etc. Also, the position of the Sun and the angle of the surface relative to the source of light (usually the Sun) affects the degree and amount of light reflected. But all in all, the answer is yes.

Answer 2

Yes, airplanes reflect light because their metal surfaces are usually polished or painted with reflective materials. When light hits an airplane, these surfaces bounce the light in various directions, potentially creating a glare for those on the ground or in other planes.
