Most things we see, we see because they reflect light. Very few objects have light of their own. So you could say almost any object. If you are looking for a specific item in terms of your question, the object that you may mean is the Moon.

The moon has no light of its own why is it the that it can be seen shining brightly in the sky?
The same way a mirror looks bright if you shine a torch on it.It reflects the Suns' light.
Why do stars seen twinkling whereas the moon does not?
The stars twinkle because they're balls of gas burning and making their own light, just like the sun. The moon is a solid rock and it doesn't make it's own light. The light from the sun reflects on the moon and that's why we see it.
How does light reach the full moon?
The light from the sun reflects light to the full moon as the sun is always just opposite the full moon except during the new moon time, where there is no moon to be seen.
Is the moon a light source?
No, moon is not a light source, if we consider the moon as a light source, the mirror will also be called a source of light!!!! Every object seen by reflecting light from another object is called a non luminous body. As mirror, book, cup are not light sources, moon is not also a light source because it just reflect the light from the sun.
Why is light reflected?
Light is an energy force which has weight. Light particles rebound back to the eye because every object has a reflective surface. Perhaps we could ask the question "Why do we see things in different colors?" Light is white in color. This white light is in actual fact a combination of all the colors of the spectrum. When light strikes an object the object will absorb some of the colors but reject others. The combination of these rejected colors give us the color we see. A green cover book is so because the colors blue and yellow were not absorbed by the material of the book cover. Some say that because some objects absorb all colors the object is seen as black, or the absence of color. So why do we still see black objects? Because even a black object has a reflective surface.
An object that can be seen because it reflects light?
the moon
An object that can be seen because it reflects light is said to be?
illuminated
If an object emits or reflects light?
It can be seen by the eye.
Why can the moon be seen?
The moon is visible for the same reason every object is visible: it reflects light.
Where are the stars in moon photos?
They are too dim to be seen because of all the light the moon reflects.
What happens in a periscope?
The top of the periscope has a prism that reflects the light to the observers prism. The object the top prism is pointed at is seen at the bottom one.
Why is Neptune brighter than Pluto when seen from the earth?
Because it is closer to the Earth and it is larger, so it reflects more light.
What colour is seen when an object absorbs all colors and reflects only green?
Green.
What reflects off the moon so it can be seen on earth?
Light from the sun.
Why you can see?
We can see because our eyes are receptive to the lightwaves reflected off objects.
When is an object can be seen?
when there's light .. :))
How light determines color?
White light contains all colors, as white light hits an object certain colors (ranges of wavelength and frequency) are absorbed by the object while others are reflected. The colors reflected are what are seen by our eyes, thus those colors reflected dictate the color of the object. For example, the average green plant reflects light at frequencies of 5.76 x10^14 (green) which then is seen by our eyes and our brains then determine the object is green
