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.

What do planets and satellites receive light from?
Stars.
What hours should you leave the light on for fish?
Leave the light on during daylight hours, and turn it off at nightime.
How are planets different from satellites?
simple! planets are huge or normally bigger than satellites in terms of mass, area and size. planets normally have a atmosphere like the earth. planets revolve around the sun whereas satellites revolve around the planet. both of them are non luminous object which means they reflect the light from the sun. satellites are usually fragments of a planet when it was forming.
Differentiate between a Planet and a Satellite?
Satellite is a gadget used to observe information about the space and planets are worlds where different creatures live and the planets are reflecting light.
Why do satellites suddenly emit a very bright white light?
Planets cannot emit light. They merely reflect light from nearby stars.
What objects can be seen in space from earth because the objects reflect light from another object?
Planets, moons, asteroids, artificial satellites.
Why Among All The Planets Only Earth Can Support Light?
All of the Sun's satellites are illuminated by the Sun. Your question is most strange - support "light"!!
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.
Why can't we see the planets during the day?
The light of the sun is too bright to make out the planets during the day unless there is an eclipse.
What 6 bodies in space that do not emit light?
There are most likely trilliions of bodies in space that do not emit light. They include . . . -- the planets Mercury and Venus -- the planets Earth and Mars, and their three satellites -- the millions of asteroids -- the comets -- the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and their roughly 110 satellites -- the former planet Pluto and its two satellites -- the millions of cold bodies in the Kuyper belt and Oort cloud -- all of the similar bodies gravitationally bound to and in orbits around all of the other stars. And don't forget the black holes.
Do satellites produce light?
planets don't produce their own light. They just reflect light
Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
