Why don't we get heat and light from the other stars than the sun?

We do get light from the other stars; that is why we can see them. We do not feel their heat or see very much light from them because they are millions of times farther away from us than the sun is.


What causes heat and light in stars?

The heat and the light in stars is the same thermal nuclear fission that our Sun (a star) produces.


Do stars shine because of reflected light?

No, Stars generate light and heat through nuclear fusion. The moon reflects light


What process cause stars to give off heat and light?

what causes stars to give off heat and light is when the poporazzi abushes them and they get really mad...that would be the heat. and the flashes form the cameras would be the light


Why don't we get heat and light from the other stars inthe sky?

Those stars are very far from us ! & as Edwin Hubble saw from his telescope that the Universe is Expanding ! Thats why according to law of thermodynamics temprature of universe decreases and wavelength of radiations increases & goes beyond of our visual spectrum (microwave radiations) ! Thats why sky appears black even if there are stars ! Tempreature of these radiations is below zero degree celcius ! But the stars which we can see in the night sky ! It is the common sense that as we go away & away from hot body we feel lesser & lesser heat ! Hope this answer will satisfy your curiosity ! Additional Answer: This question's supposition is incorrect. The Earth DOES get heat and light from the other stars in the night sky. (If we did not get light from them, how would we see them?) The heat and light something gives off is indirectly proportional to the distance between us and the heat/light source. (Confirm this in person experience, where a light bulb is hot to touch, but as you draw your hand away the heat dissipates.)

Why cant you feel heat from the stars?

Simply put, they are much to far away for us to feel their heat.


Why you do not feel the heat and light of the stars?

Because these are very very far away and their presence in most of the cases is noted for several light years passed the day we watch them on the horizon.
