Why do satellites needs to reflect?
it is so because in outer space , there is no light due to vacuum and so as to track satellites from earth , they reflect light.
Why does space look black?
Because it is essentially a vacuum (there isn't much there) so light does not have anything to refract or reflect light off of thereby giving a black void appearance.
Why does the moon reflected so much light?
The moon reflects so much light because the moon reflect the light of the sun. The amount of light on the moon that is showing is directly related to the position to the moon. (From Answers.com)
Does a meteor emit light or reflect light?
Yes. A meteorite is a rock from space that had hit the ground. Meteorites are not hot enough to glow, but they are made either of metal or similar materials to rocks on Earth, so they reflect light.
Does the moon absorb light during the day and emit the light at night?
Technically no, but valid guess. At night, the sun's rays reflect off the moon and back on to Earth. The reason the light is so much dimmer is because a lot of light energy is lost in the process.

What is the best color to use to reflect light rays?
The best color to use to reflect light rays is white. White is a reflective color. So are most light colors. So white is the best color to use to reflect light rays. :)
Does Polaris reflect or emit light?
It is a star, so it emits light.
How far is Enceladus?
Enceladus is a moon of Saturn so it's distance from the Sun is the same as Saturn. [See related question]
Why does a mirror reflect light so well?
Because it has a shiny & smooth surface which helps to reflect the light... Take an example of tree. A tree have a rough surface due to which light can be reflect. So All of this depends on the smoothness of surface.. :-)
Does paper towel reflect light?
It acts as a diffuser for light, not so much reflect, use "bounce cards" a white peice or cardboard or thick paper.

Can gray rock reflect light?
If an object doesn't reflect light, it will appear perfectly black. So yes, in a sense, a rock does reflect light, since this is what enables you to see it. It is, however, a poor reflector, compared with, say, water, or a mirror. If an object doesn't reflect light, it will appear perfectly black.

What objects reflect and absorb light?
Any object you can see reflects light. If it did not reflect any light it would be invisible. Similarly, no object is so reflective that it reflects all light. The proof that it absorbs light is that it increses in temperature as it is exposed to light.
Does a meteor emit light or reflect light?
Yes. A meteorite is a rock from space that had hit the ground. Meteorites are not hot enough to glow, but they are made either of metal or similar materials to rocks on Earth, so they reflect light.
What are some materials that do NOT reflect light?
All materials reflect light to some extent. Those which reflect it least have matte black surfaces, so this is often a function of how the substance is prepared rather than what it's made of.
