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.
What else can I help you with?
Do moons comets and stars shine as a result of reflected light?
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.
What type of radiation does a comet emit?
Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.
Which of these objects reflect light and which emit light Comets Asteroids Planets Sun Meteors Stars?
Objects that reflect light include planets, asteroids, and comets. The Sun emits light as it is a star. Meteors are visible as they burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, reflecting some light. Stars emit their own light through fusion reactions.
Do planets have light of their own?
no planets crust does not have light of their own but the core of the earth has light of its own
How do comets shine?
Comets shine due to the reflection of sunlight off their icy nucleus and dust particles surrounding it. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the nucleus to melt and release gas and dust, forming a glowing coma and tail visible from Earth.
Which contains only objects that shine as a result of reflected light?
moons, planets and comets
Do comets shine as a result of reflected light?
no Bkuz comets arnt used as mirrors. Ignore that. Yes, comets shine due to reflected light because they do not produce their own light, much as our moon reflects light from the sun causing it to shine in the sky.
Do moons comets and stars shine as a result of reflected light?
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.
What is the source of all light in outer space?
The source of light in outer space varies. Light can be reflected off from the stars, moons, comets, asteroids and planets.
How do planets get light?
The light we see from the planets is sunlight that has been reflected.
What type of radiation does a comet emit?
Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.
How do you know what comets are made of?
Astronomers analyze the light reflected from comets with a machine, and can easily tell what major elements it is composed of.
Do planets emit light or reflect light?
Planets do not emit their own light; instead, they reflect light from the Sun. This reflected sunlight allows us to see planets shining in the night sky. The amount of light reflected depends on the planet's surface composition and atmosphere.
Is there light coming from any planets?
no light is not emitted by any planet but light ,reflected by many planets comes to the earth
Which of these objects reflect light and which emit light Comets Asteroids Planets Sun Meteors Stars?

Do planets have light of their own?
no planets crust does not have light of their own but the core of the earth has light of its own
What is different about the light you see from planets?
Its reflected sun light - unlike the stars which generate their own light.
