What does the color of visible light depend on?
the color of the light it reflects and absorbs. If the object reflects red and absorbs all other colors, the object will appear red.
Why the brightest object in the night sky if it does not make its own light?
The moon is the closest heavenly body to the earth and because of its relatively high albedo it reflects a lot of the light falling on it hence it is the brightest object in the night sky. Similar reasons also apply to Venus, which is also a very bright object.
How do you see colour?
When the light reflects on an object into your eye you see the objects colour. When all of the light reflects into your eye you see the colour as white. So if some of the light is absorbed into the object you see it as it being a certain colour. There are cone cells in the eye that detect color (the other type of cells is rod cells, which are better at distinguishing light/darkness and patterns). Different colors of light excite different cone cells and cone cell clusters and these cells transmit signals to your brain, which interprets these signals as color vision.
What does the moon refect as it orbits the moon?
The Moon reflects the light of Sun towards Earth as it orbits Earth.
How are the sun and moon different?
The sun is a star that is extremely hot and is a source of light for the planet. While the moon is a mass that orbits around earth and reflects light.
Why does the moon appear to change shape as it orbits the earth?
Because the light from the sun reflects of the moon so when the moon orbits the sun which means you can only see the part of the moon that has light reflecting off it
What is is called when light reflects off from an object?
An Object which reflects light is called an illuminous object. e.g) The Moon: Reflects off sunlight
Is a moon non-luminous object and not a planet?
Correct. A planet is defined as orbiting a sun. The moon orbits the Earth - so it's a satellite. It doesn't shine under its own 'power' but reflects the light of the sun shining on its surface.It is a non-luminous object
What happen when light reflects?
When light reflects, on an object it bounces off of the object and you can see the object much more clearly.
What reflects light into a microscope?
Light reflects off a mirror to magnify an object.
An object that reflects red light and absorbs other colors?
An object that reflects red light and absorbs GREEN COLOUR.
What object reflects?
1) what objects reflects light?_______________________________ mirror
When the color of an object is the color of the light it?
The object reflects all the incident light.
What orbits a star and reflects the stars light?
Many planets around each star reflect the star's light. For example think about Earth's orbit around the sun, a big star
What is an object that reflects light called?
A visible object.
