They aren't poor reflectors of light. Comet's are somewhat invisible when they are in deep space because they are simply a chunk of rock and ice. But when they near the sun and the ice begins to melt off forming a huge tail, the light from the sun reflects nicely off the comet's ice crystals

Which of these objects reflect light and which emit light Comets Asteroids Planets Sun Meteors Stars?
Reflectors: Comets, asteroids, planets Emitters: The sun, meteors, stars The sun is a star.
The largest visible light telescopes are now all what?
reflectors
Do moons comets and stars shine as a result of reflected light?
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.
What is difference between emissivity and reflectance?
Reflectors just reflect the light absorbers actually absorb it.
How do comets shine?
Comets shine because the materials in them (ice, rocks, metals) reflect the light from the sun. Comets do not produce their own light so we, humans, are only seeing reflected sunlight.
Which of these objects reflect light and which emit light Comets Asteroids Planets Sun Meteors Stars?
Reflectors: Comets, asteroids, planets Emitters: The sun, meteors, stars The sun is a star.
The largest visible light telescopes are now all what?
reflectors
Are all light reflectors opaque?
are all opaque objects reflectors
What are the characteristics of things that reflect light?
They are smooth reflectors that do not diffuse the light.
Why is concave mirror useful as solar reflectors?
If the mirror converges, the light produced will be strong. This means they will be useful as solar reflectors.
Do cat's eyes give out light?
No but they are very good reflectors.
What is a refletor?
Reflectors are used to intensify light in a desired direction.
Is diamond are reflectors?
Cut diamonds reflect and refract available light.
What is one rfeal life example for reflectors?
mirrors=reflects light
Why are comets interesting to astronomers?
by its light
What are the purposes of photographic reflectors ?
The reflector allows the light to bounce back off your subject and highlighting their face and body. The reflectors also deter shadows from occuring.
Do comets shine as a result of reflected light?
no Bkuz comets arnt used as mirrors. Ignore that. Yes, comets shine due to reflected light because they do not produce their own light, much as our moon reflects light from the sun causing it to shine in the sky.
