Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
There are asteroids, meteoroids and comets.
There are no comets that orbit the planet Mars. Comets, some, orbit the sun. Mars on the other hand does have two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
Do you mean lighter in color? Halley's comet has an albedo of about 0.04, which is the color of tar. Our Moon has an albedo of about 0.07, which is the color of weathered asphalt. If you mean lighter as in less massive... we've never seen a comet as massive as our Moon, but there are some pretty tiny moons out there in the outer solar system; a few comets might be larger than some of them.
Rocks or comets can crash into a moon's surface due to gravitational interactions with other objects in space, such as planets or larger moons, which can alter their trajectory. Additionally, factors such as the moon's gravitational pull and its lack of atmosphere to burn up incoming objects contribute to these collisions. Over time, these impacts can create craters and other surface features on the moon.
moons, planets and comets
The source of light in outer space varies. Light can be reflected off from the stars, moons, comets, asteroids and planets.
The moon's light is really reflected from the sunlight that hits the moon.
No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
The Moons itself is an object. The light we see from it is reflected light.
No. Neither do any of their moons, and neither do any comets or asteroids.
The sun does because it's light reflects off the moon. The more light reflected the bigger the shape. The less light reflected, the smaller the shape.
Asteroids and Comets
its the comets are smaller than planets, moons, and asteroids. In order of size, usually comets < asteroids < moons < planets
The moon will not die out. The asteroids and comets are the same. A comet (asteroid) are rocks from space.When it gets to close to the Earth it gets pulled by gravity and it causes this space rock to catch on fire.
Comets
comets crash into all planets!Planets don't have comets. Planets have moons. Comets orbit the sun
