Yes, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see them.
No, asteroids do not give off their own light. They reflect light from the Sun, which is why they are visible in the night sky. Some asteroids may have a faint glow due to heat emitted from their surface.
no
When light is reflected, it bounces off a surface and changes direction. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing light), following the law of reflection. The reflectivity of the surface determines how much light is reflected.
No. Stars emit light.
When light is reflected from a surface, it bounces off the surface in a predictable manner called the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (reflected light). This process allows us to see objects by the light they reflect into our eyes.
The source of light in outer space varies. Light can be reflected off from the stars, moons, comets, asteroids and planets.
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
Asteroids are not luminous like stars. They do not produce their own light but instead reflect light from the Sun. When they are illuminated by sunlight, asteroids can sometimes appear bright in the night sky.

It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
The ray that represents the light reflected by a surface is called the reflected ray.
Yes. Light from the Sun hits the Earth, the Moon, and all of the other planets, moons and asteroids. When we see "moonlight" we are actually seeing reflected sunlight.
Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.
No, but they can reflect light.
No, asteroids do not give off their own light. They reflect light from the Sun, which is why they are visible in the night sky. Some asteroids may have a faint glow due to heat emitted from their surface.
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
no
