The same as any other solid object ...
remember, compared to a light wave (or particle),
dust and you are just about the same size.

What things in space reflect light?

Planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and dust particles are examples of objects in space that reflect light. These objects reflect light either from the Sun or from other nearby sources, making them visible to observers on Earth or with telescopes in space.


What causes dust to be seen when sunlight shines through a room?

Dust particles while small reflect light, thenceforth you are able to see individual particles as they turn through the air.


What is the difference between a dark reflecting nebula and light relfecting nebula?

A nebula is a region of interstellar gas and dust. Dark nebulae such as the Horsehead Nebula are so dense that they block light from other sources, such as background emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, or other stars. Other types of nebulae do reflect light. Emission nebulae are clouds of ionized gas that allow red, blue, and violet light through. Generally, these nebulae appear reddish. Reflection nebulae are clouds of dust that simply reflect light from nearby stars. The dust particles of reflection nebulae usually only scatter blue light, so the appearance is blue.


Which type of nebulae formation is light by the nearby stars?

Reflection nebulae are illuminated by nearby stars, as they reflect the starlight off of their surrounding gas and dust. The dust in reflection nebulae scatters shorter blue wavelengths of light, giving them a blue appearance.

Name the different types of nebulae?

The different types of nebulae include emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, and dark nebulae. Emission nebulae are clouds of gas and dust that emit light, reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars, and dark nebulae are dense clouds of dust that block the light from behind them.


Does a comet produce light?

Yes, a comet produces light as it travels through space. This light is mainly produced by the Sun's energy causing the comet's nucleus to release gas and dust particles, which reflect sunlight and create a glowing tail.


Do mirrors reflect without light?

Mirrors reflect whether there is anything to reflect at the minute. Beside light they can also reflect heat radiation.


What is the difference between the way black and white surfaces affect light?

What reflects energy from the sun in the atmosphere?

Water. The actual is Clouds, gases and dust reflects 25% of the incoming sun light. Clouds reflect light back to space. Dust particles and gases reflect light in all directions in a process called scattering. Gas particles scatter shorter wavelengths of visible light (blue and violet), and that is why the sky is blue.
