What are the icy objects that light up the light sky?
comets.
What makes up the tails of comets?
rocks and dust
What source of light makes comets visible?
Comets are visible because they reflect sunlight. As a comet travels closer to the Sun, the sunlight heats up the comet's surface, causing it to release gas and dust that form a glowing coma and tail. This reflected sunlight is what makes comets visible from Earth.
What are Icy objects that light up the night sky?
Icy objects that light up the night sky include comets and meteors. Comets are made of ice, dust, and rocks, and produce a glowing tail of gas and dust when they approach the sun. Meteors are pieces of rock or metal that enter Earth's atmosphere, creating a bright streak of light as they burn up due to friction.
What are comets and meteors?
Comets are body of ice, rocks and cosmic dust loosely packed together.Meteor is a streak of light caused when comets dust and meteoride burns up in the earth atmosphere before it reaches the ground.
Which of these objects reflect light and which emit light Comets Asteroids Planets Sun Meteors Stars?
Objects that reflect light include planets, asteroids, and comets. The Sun emits light as it is a star. Meteors are visible as they burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, reflecting some light. Stars emit their own light through fusion reactions.
Why are comets interesting to astronomers?
by its light
What are Icy objects that light up the night sky when they are close to the sun?
Icy objects that light up the night sky when close to the sun are comets. Comets are made up of ice, dust, and rock, and as they approach the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize and create a bright glowing tail visible from Earth.
Do moons comets and stars shine as a result of reflected light?
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.
Do comets shine as a result of reflected light?
no Bkuz comets arnt used as mirrors. Ignore that. Yes, comets shine due to reflected light because they do not produce their own light, much as our moon reflects light from the sun causing it to shine in the sky.
What effects does the sun have on comets?
since the comet is made of ice, when it gets nearer to the sun it melts down because of the heat of the sun
What makes up colors?
light
