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.
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.
Does a nebula have no light of its own?
It does not have visible light of its own, that lite is provided by the shine of the stars in it and or around it.
Which method has not yet detected planets around other stars?
Detection of reflected light by the planet
Do the planets can be seen by reflected light by the sun and other stars?
The planets reflect sunlight, but the stars are too far away to have any significant effect.
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.
Do stars shine because of reflected light?
No, Stars generate light and heat through nuclear fusion. The moon reflects light

Are stars reflected light?
No. Stars emit light.
Are stars that shine with predominantly blue light the lowest in temperature?
No. They are the hottest. The coolest stars shine predominantly with red light.
How do stars such as the sun produce light?
Burns and the sun makes stars light up as the light is reflected........
What process do stars use to shine?
in stars neuclear fussion happens,from which photons are generated which emit light and heat,thats why stars shine.
How do the stars shine?
Stars are giant balls of gas and fire.
What is different about the light you see from planets?
Its reflected sun light - unlike the stars which generate their own light.
What is the difference between light and reflected light?
Source light is light coming directly from a light source/emitter (i.e. a light bulb, the sun, stars, etc.). Reflected light is light coming indirectly from the light source/emitter. That could be reflected, refracted light, etc.
Does a nebula have no light of its own?
It does not have visible light of its own, that lite is provided by the shine of the stars in it and or around it.
Are the stars and moon luminous?
Stars are luminous, shine by themseves. Moon isn't, it can only reflect light.
