How does the moon reflect the sun's light to create moonlight?

The moon reflects the sun's light because its surface is made of materials that bounce light back. When sunlight hits the moon, the surface reflects the light towards Earth, creating moonlight.


What is the material that reflects or absorbs all of light that strikes it?

No material reflects all light. Silver is pretty close, which is why it is used for mirrors. As far as absorbing, porous black materials do the best job.


Which of the following surfaces reflects the most light?

A smooth and polished surface reflects the most light due to minimal scattering. Rough and matte surfaces will scatter light in multiple directions, reducing the amount of reflected light. Highly reflective materials like mirrors are designed to reflect light efficiently.


What is a material that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes is?

A material that reflects all light that strikes it is said to have a high albedo, while a material that absorbs all light is said to have a low albedo. Ideally, a material that reflects all light is considered a perfect reflector, while a material that absorbs all light is considered a perfect absorber (blackbody). These extremes are theoretical constructs and not typically found in natural materials.


What opaque objects reflects light?

Mirrors, metals, and some plastics are examples of opaque objects that reflect light. These materials have a smooth surface that allows light to bounce off and be reflected in a predictable manner.

What is a material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it?

A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.


Is there a material that reflects light better when wet?

Lots of materials do that; for example, the asphalt on a street.

Do dark colored materials absorb less radiant energy than light-colored materials?

I would say that the dark-colored would absorb moreradiant energy than the light-colored materials because the light-colored reflects...

The mirror, which can also be called the light source. It reflects the light.
