Would a planet located 9 AU from the Sun be a Jovian planet?
Not necessarily. A Jovian planet is one which is composed primarily of light gases, such as hydrogen. It may be in any orbit, and several have been detected in orbits much closer to their suns than the Earth is to our star.
What planet receives light in the shortest time?
It would be the nearest one to the sun!
A black hole emits no light because of its?
a black hole emits no light because of its high gravity
How does the shape of a planet influence its temperature?
because depending on where the surface receives direct light, it affects the trend and biome
What happens to atoms and their electrons while the entity emits light?
The electrons of the atom move closer to the nucleus while the atom emits light.
Does the sun or the moon give out more light?
Only the Sun emits light, the Moon only reflect 7% of the light it receives.

Which planet receives the most light from the sun and why?
Mercury, because it is the closest planet to the sun.
The amount of light and warmth a planet receives depends on what?
distance and atmosphere
Does Saturn emit or reflect light?
It reflects light. The only body in our solar system that emits light is the sun. The Earth also emits light from fires, volcanic eruptions and electric lighting but not enough to illuminate something as large as another planet.
What planet receives light in the shortest time?
It would be the nearest one to the sun!
What is the difference between a planet and a star with regard to the light in space?
A star generates energy, including light, which it emits into space, i.e. it is luminous. A planet can only be seen because it reflects the Sun's light, i.e. it is non-luminous.
How is the sun part of energy?
The sun emits energy in the form of radiation (light & atomic particles). This energy is crucial to life on our planet.
Is Jupiter a luminous or non luminous planet?
Jupiter is not luminous in that it emits light, it reflects the Suns light so that it is visible to us on Earth. See also Albedo.
Does a star hold light?
No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.No, it only emits light. The heat gets radiated away as light.
The amount of light and warmth a planet receives from the sun depends on what factors?
Energy emitted by the Sun Distance from the Sun Reflectance of the planet Radius of the planet Green house effect of the planet's atmosphere
How are the sun and moon different?
The sun is a star that is extremely hot and is a source of light for the planet. While the moon is a mass that orbits around earth and reflects light.
