Why can you see stars and planets in the night sky?

You see stars because nuclear fusion is going on inside them, generating huge amounts of energy, and some of it leaves the star in the form of visible light. In other words, stars make their own light, and they are sources of light. You see planets, moons, and anything else in the sky, because the sun shines on them and lights them up, like a flashlight.

Why are planets brighter at different times of year?

Some planets can be seen from the earth at certain times. Volcanoes in some planets erupt and the ash surrounds the gas clouds so it seems darker to us. But at different times of year we can see the planets brighter. That is because because of the sun's light. Planets do not have their own light. So they reflect the light of the sun, the big ball of fire.


Why can you see the planets at night?
