∙ 12y agoThis question needs refining as there is no 'type' of light.
Light is an electromagnetic wave which is defined by its wavelength or frequency. As you increase the wavelength the frequency decreases and vice versa.
A high wavelength/low frequency refers to light which can be described as infrared, microwave and radio (with increasing wavelength).
A low wavelength/high frequency refers to light which can be described as ultraviolet, x-ray and gamma ray.
In between the high and low end of wavelength is visible light which forms the colours that the human eye can see, you can think of this as medium wavelength and medium frequency.
All of these 'types of light' are visible from Earth. Whether from decaying radiation, a heat source or a colourful painting.
If this light originates from outer space then most of it is absorbed or reflected by Earth's atmosphere, but not all of it. This is how ground based infra-red telescopes work.
In conclusion, all forms of light are visible form Earth as even the ozone layer isn't 100% impenetrable.

How can planets be seen from earth?
They reflect light from the Sun.
Planets can be seen because?
They reflect the Suns light back to Earth
What planets can be seen in certain constellations?
The constellations of the zodiac fall on the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun) and all the Sun's planets orbit also in the plane of the ecliptic. This means that ALL the planets eventually move through ALL the zodiacal constellations (as seen from Earth). It also therefore follows that the planets are never seen in the non zodiacal constellations.
Can you see the phases of any planets from Earth?
Venus has phases that can be seen from Earth. See related link for a pictorial.
How often are the planets Venus and Jupiter seen from earth directly above the crescent moon?
Every now and then
What planets can be seen by a person?

In our Solar System, there are .....planets.?
The part of the Moon which receives......can be seen from the Earth.
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
Can you see the phases of any planets from Earth?
Venus has phases that can be seen from Earth. See related link for a pictorial.
What planet obstructs the moon as seen from earth?
None. The moon is closer than the other planets, so it will obstruct other planets.
Which planets stay within about 45 degrees from the Sun as seen from Earth?
Venus and Mercury
Can all the planets be seen from the Earth?
we can see 6 planets mercury venus mars jupiter saturn
How do you know if a plant is an inner or outer plant?
Inner planets orbit inside the orbit of the Earth, can only be seen in the morning or evening sky and are never seen as full disks form the Earth. Outer planets orbit further out than the orbit of Earth and can be seen from time to time as full disks in 'opposition' or overhead at midnight.
