Satellites don't give light, they reflect it. At night they are high up enough to reflect the Sun's light, particularly in the hours close to sunrise and sunset or in places in the world where the sun is not too far below the horizon. As they fly through the sky they start to reflect sunlight, first getting brighter and then fading again before disappearing. It is easy to know something is a satellite as it looks like a slow moving star that brightens up and then fades again over the course of a few minutes. On a clear night, if you look at the sky long enough you may spot several satellites.
What else can I help you with?
Except for light reflection does a satellite eminate any other visible light during night time?
I am not aware of any beacon lights on any satellites. I'm sure the International Space Station has some, for times when the Shuttle is coming in, but what purpose would they serve otherwise? Aircraft have anti-collision lights - to avoid airplanes crashing into each other at night. But satellites generally travel too fast for any visual cues to be useful - and satellites have very limited maneuverability anyway.
How do Satellites give light to the planet?
If by Satellite, you are referring to the Moon. On a clear night the Moon reflects the Suns light back onto Earth. The best effect is during a Full Moon on a crystal clear night. Its not as good as daylight but you can see very well. If you mean man made Satellites, then they do not give light to planets they help us observe them or are used for telecommunications etc.
How does the atmosphere affect your planet?
if we didn't have an atmosphere during the day our planet would be very hot and during the night our planet would be very cold
How do you find objects in the night sky?
it depends what you look for if you look for a planet you might want to head to a field on a cloudless night with no street lights
What planet that lets Its ice melts into a huge trail that streaks across the night sky?
NORTHAN LIGHTS
What are the bright lights in night sky that are NOT stars or planets?
The moving bright lights may be aircraft, satellites, or meteors. The bright points that are not stars or planets may also be galaxies, asteroids, comets, or the moons of planets.
Do street lights switch off during night?
Street Lights stay on in the night as they have a light detection unit on the top, if the sensor falls under shadow it turns on.

When instrument used for seeing stars and planet clearly?
Usually during the night.
How do satellites give light to the planets during nightime?
Sunlight is reflected off the surface of a moon, and can come back to the planet it is in orbit around. You can see our moon during the day because of this. At night our moon still reflects a similar amount of light, but as it's much darker, the light appears to be greater in contrast.
How often are the northern lights seen?
In The Night Sky, During The Darkest Hours Of Nighttime
Can you see satellites from the ground?
Yes, it is possible to see satellites from the ground with the naked eye. Satellites are typically visible during the early morning or evening hours when the sun's light reflects off them. They appear as moving points of light in the night sky.
