Generally true, planets don't emit their own light, but are visible largely because of reflected light, the illumination provided by their star, in the case of our solar system, by the Sun. Some planets might produce trivial amounts of light by other means, for example from lightning, volcanism, mineral fluorescence, etc.

Do planets have light of their own?
no planets crust does not have light of their own but the core of the earth has light of its own
Why do you see stars twinkling but planets do not?
the stars emitt its own light. But the planets do not have any own light. It absorbs the light from the stars like a sun. It just reflects the light. And also the stars are far away from the earth than the planets. So we can found the twinkling of stars but not the planets.
Do planets stars and comets shine as a result of reflected light?
Planets and comets shine because of reflected light because they do not produce their own light. Stars are enormous balls of gas that are undergoing fusion which releases a very large amount of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light. So stars shine because they produce their own light and not because they reflect light.
Do plants shine their own light?
No planets reflect light from their host star (sun)
What do planets do with the light from the sun?
The planets reflect some sunlight and absorb some. The absorbed light is turned into heat. Earth is unique in that a portion of the sunlight absorbed is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis, which provides the energy for most of Earth's life.

Do the planets have their own light?
no. because the planets get their own light because of the heat of the sun .
Do planets receive no light energy?
All planets receive light energy to a greater or lesser extent.
Is the sun capable of its own light?
Yes. The sun produces all the heat and light energy to all the planets in the Solar System.
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.
How do planets and stars send light to us?
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.
What planet does not gives off its own light?
Planets dont give off light therefore all planets dont give off its own light
How do planets make their own light?
In general, planets don't make their own light. Rather, they reflect the light of the sun. It is possible to see lightning in the atmospheres of some planets, but that probably doesn't count.
Does the energy from Sun energise other planets so they can emit light?
No. Planets do not emit light; they can only reflect light from the Sun.
What objects do not emit light on their own?
planets, moon,etc do not emit light on their own.
What are characteristic of planets?
planets do not shine with their own energy but shine because of energy of stars. they revolve around stars
