Planets don't produce their own light, it is only reflected light from the Sun. The light from the Sun is exactly the same type of light that comes from all other stars, it is stronger only because the Sun is closer to us.
Brightness is measured in magnitudes, the bright stars are magnitudes 0 and 1 and there are even two stars with a negative magnitude. The dimmest stars visible in perfect conditions are 6th magnitude. The Sun's magnitude is -26.7.
If the distance goes up 10 times, the brightness goes down 100 times, which is exactly 5 magnitudes.
What else can I help you with?
How are stars and planets the same and how do they differ?
Similarities: Stars and planets can appear the same - like pinpoints of light in the night sky. Differences: Planets are rock or gas, and do not glow by themselves but reflect the light of stars which illuminate them. Stars fuse hydrogen into helium and give off enormous amounts of energy, some in the visible range. Stars are MUCH bigger than planets.
How do planets and stars send light to us?
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.
How do stars reflect light of planets and moons?
They don't. It's the planets and moons that reflect the light of stars.
Do stars and planets have the same light?
Yes, in the sense that both of their 'lights' come from a star.
Do stars and planets both make their own light?
No. The stars make their own light, but the planets only relect light from the sun.
Why do planets like Venus look so bright in the night sky if they do not emit light?
there are certain times when those planets... like venus..... are in an alignment with the sun and the sun's light... letting those planets REFLECT the same light the stars do...... the sun's light...... without the sun's light..... the stars too would be dark ^^
What planets produce their own light?
No, planets don't give off light, stars did.
What is the difference between planets and stars in the night sky?
Stars give off light whereas planets reflect light.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Are the stars planets or are they the same as the sun?
The night time stars are suns, so distant they appear as points of light. Note that the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen without a telescope and can be mistaken for stars.
The way planets and stars are different?
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
Why do planets need their stars?
Planets need their stars for heat and light, which are essential for supporting life and maintaining stable surface temperatures. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the star helps to keep planets in orbit around it.
