The planets reflect sunlight, but the stars are too far away to have any significant effect.

Which method has not yet detected planets around other stars?
Detection of reflected light by the planet
What is an Optical Telescope for?
It is used to observe features of stars, planets, and other celestial objects by their visible light (generated or reflected).
Do planets stars and comets shine as a result of reflected light?
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.
Why do you see stars twinkling but planets do not?
the stars emitt its own light. But the planets do not have any own light. It absorbs the light from the stars like a sun. It just reflects the light. And also the stars are far away from the earth than the planets. So we can found the twinkling of stars but not the planets.
What emits light and what reflects light?
stars,metiorite and the sun emit light,comites do both. other than that the moon and the planets reflect light

What is different about the light you see from planets?
Its reflected sun light - unlike the stars which generate their own light.

Are stars reflected light?
No. Stars emit 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.
Why are the planets visible even though they are not light sources?
other stars project light to planets reflects right to your eyes
How does the moon light up?
The Moon is mainly illuminated by the Sun. All other light sources, like other stars, reflection of light from planets, are negligible.
How do planets and stars send light to us?
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.

Do planets give off more red light than stars?
No. The hottest planets might emit some infrared radiation (heat), but most visible spectrum light would actually be reflected from some nearby star. Stars range from 100 to millions of times as massive as the largest planets, and they shine through the light of nuclear fusion.
How do stars reflect light of planets and moons?
They don't. It's the planets and moons that reflect the light of stars.
