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.
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.
Does Mercury shine with its own light or reflected light from stars?
Mercury shines by reflecting light from just one single star: our Sun.
Does Pluto shine on its own?
No planet shines on its own. They are just like the moon and have the light reflected off them from the sun.
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.
How does the moon appear to shine so brightly in the night sky?
because it will absorb the light of sun and reflected back to the earth. thats why...
Does the moon receives light from the sun?

Why doesn't moon shine as bright as the sun?
The moon doesn't shine as bright as the sun because it does not produce its own light like the sun. The moon reflects sunlight, and its surface is not as reflective as the sun's surface. Additionally, the distance between the sun and moon affects the brightness we perceive from each celestial body.
How does the moon shines?
The moon does not shine of itself. What we see is when the sun is shining on the moon and it is illuminated. So the moon is reflecting light towards us. If you were on the moon, and the sun was shining on the part of earth that was facing you, the earth would appear to be shining. The other planets that we see that appear to shine, are also just being lit up by the sun.
Can the moon be seen from earth?
We can see the moon due to reflected sun light.<br><br>The sun shines 24 hours per day, but we only see the direct sunlight when the side of the earth on which we live faces the sun. At night, the side of the earth where we live faces away from the sun.<br><br>However, the sun's rays will still reach the moon which we can see as some of the sunlight which is reflected from the moon is thrown back towards the earth. This light will be a lot fainter than the direct sunlight which explains why the light is not as strong as during the day.<br><br>Reflected light is the same way you see things at night with a flash light.<br>If you go outside on a completely dark night and shine a flash light on an object on the other side of the street, you see the object light up by observing the reflected light from the flashlight.<br>
