Earth both reflects and emits light. The surface of the Earth reflects sunlight, which is why we can see it during the day. Earth also emits infrared radiation (heat) back into space, which is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Yes, galaxies emit light primarily from the stars within them. This light can range from visible light to other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, and X-rays. The light emitted by galaxies allows astronomers to study their composition, age, and distance from Earth.
A meteorite reflects light like any other object; it does not emit light on its own. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and becomes a meteor, it can emit light due to friction with the air, creating a glowing trail known as a meteor or shooting star.
Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.
the moon is not a planet. The moon is a natural satelite that orbits the earth. It has no light but it will emit the sun's light at night.
The Earth does not emit light, it like the moon reflects light
The Earth does not emit light, it like the moon reflects light
Yes, light bulbs emit radiation in the form of visible light.
Some light sources can emit multiple types of light, such as white light sources that emit a combination of different colors.
Humans emit visible light in the form of infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation.
Because it doesn't emit light.
Humans emit infrared light, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.
The type of light you emit is called incandescent light, and the term for the heat emitted along with it is called infrared radiation.
Stars emit light that travels to the Earth.
The moon does not emit light, rather it reflects it. The light from the sun shines on the moon, and it is reflected to earth.
Earth both reflects and emits light. The surface of the Earth reflects sunlight, which is why we can see it during the day. Earth also emits infrared radiation (heat) back into space, which is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Moonlight is almost entirely reflected sunlight, with very small amounts of reflected starlight and earthlight as well. As such, it radiates at the same continuous spectrum as the sun, though it won't have the bright emission lines that the sun emits.
