Why do plants and the moons shine so brightly if they do not produce light?

It is because of the Sun giving light off on to the moon and the moon reflecting the light onto the plants.

What is the brightest moon called?
Moons don't produce light.
Why do planets and the moons shine so brightly if they do not produce light?
The light comes from the reflection of the suns light off their surface. It may seem like there is not enough light to make them shine so much, but compared to the night sky, there is enough reflected light off their surfaces for us to see detail in the moon and planets.
What is a body in space that does not produce light and revolve around the sun?
Planets, planetesimals, moons, comets, asteroids, and space dust all orbit the Sun and none produce any light.
Do Planets and their moons emit light?
No. Planets and moons reflect light.
How do stars reflect light of planets and moons?
They don't. It's the planets and moons that reflect the light of stars.
What is the brightest moon?
Moons don't produce light.

Does the moons produce light?
No, the moon reflects the suns light to make it shine

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.

Small bodies revolving around planets which do not produce light?
They're considered moons. If I'm mistaking, no moons create their own light. The Sun's rays reflect off of the "small revolving body" surface and create the light we see.
Why do plants and their moons appears to shine?
They are reflecting the light of the Sun much the same way as our own Moon does
Do Planets and their moons emit light?
No. Planets and moons reflect light.
Does Neptune or its moons give off light?
Planets and Moons only reflect light, they do not 'give off light'.
The moon doesn't produce its own light. Give two reasons why it's still one of the brightest bodies in the night sky.?
That's true, moons and planets do not shine with their own light; they reflect the light that hits them. There are three things that will affect how bright they appear to be. One thing that can make a moon or planet shine brightly is if the object is very large. For example, the planet Jupiter is enormous, bigger than all the other planets, moons, asteroids and everything else except the Sun itself, COMBINED. The solar system is sometimes described as being "the Sun, Jupiter, and some pebbles and dust". So Jupiter shines very brightly in the sky. Another consideration is albedo, or reflectivity. A planet or moon that reflects most of the light that hits them will shine more brightly than a planet that absorbs most of the light. Venus is a good example; the clouds of Venus reflect a great deal of the light that hits them. The final attribute is distance. A relatively small object, not especially reflective, is the Moon. Why is it so bright? Because it is RIGHT HERE, practically in our laps.
