Plants both reflect and radiate energy, but in different ways and at different wavelengths:
- Reflection:
Plants reflect energy primarily in the visible and near-infrared (NIR) parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
In the visible spectrum, chlorophyll absorbs mostly blue and red light for photosynthesis, but reflects green light — which is why most plants appear green.
In the NIR range, plants reflect a significant amount of energy. This reflection helps regulate temperature and avoid overheating, as NIR energy doesn't contribute to photosynthesis.
- Radiation:
Plants also radiate thermal (infrared) energy, just like any other object with a temperature above absolute zero.
This radiation typically occurs in the mid- to far-infrared spectrum (thermal IR), corresponding to the plant’s temperature (usually around 290–310 K or 17–37 °C).
This is how thermal imaging can detect plant temperature and stress.
So in summary:
Reflect: visible (especially green) and NIR light
Radiate: thermal infrared energy (heat)

What else can I help you with?
Why not earth radiate light?
Earth does radiate light in the form of thermal radiation, which is emitted as heat energy. This radiation is typically in the infrared range and is a result of the Earth's surface absorbing sunlight and then re-emitting it as heat.
How do stars reflect light of planets and moons?
They don't. It's the planets and moons that reflect the light of stars.
Do Planets and their moons emit light?
No. Planets and moons reflect light.
Do planets emit light or reflect light?
Planets do not emit their own light; instead, they reflect light from the Sun. This reflected sunlight allows us to see planets shining in the night sky. The amount of light reflected depends on the planet's surface composition and atmosphere.
Do planets reflect light from the moon and the sun?
Yes, planets reflect light from both the Sun and the Moon. Planets reflect sunlight because they do not have their own light source. The light reflected from the Moon is actually sunlight that has been reflected off the Moon's surface.
Do planets radiate noise?
Yes planets do radiate noise. But not all of them do
Wavelenghts at which planets emit enregy?
Most planets absorb energy in the light and UV (and shorter) wavelengths. Planets radiate energy in the infrared (heat) and longer wavelengths.
Two planets that are known to radiate more energy back to space than they receive from the sun are?
Jupiter and Saturn......... by R.E
What comes out of planets?
Planets are not active emitters of energy, that would be Stars. Planets only reflect the energy (light) from nearby stars that they orbit. That is what makes it so difficult to find planets outside of our Solar System.
What two planets are known to radiate more energy back to space than they receive from the sun?
jupiter, saturn, and neptune (theres a third!)
Does the energy from Sun energise other planets so they can emit light?
No. Planets do not emit light; they can only reflect light from the Sun.
Two planets that radiate away more energy than they receive from the sun are?
Two examples of planets that radiate away more energy than they receive from the sun are Jupiter and Saturn. These gas giants emit more thermal energy due to their internal heat sources, such as radiation leftover from their formation and gravitational compression.
Why not earth radiate light?
Earth does radiate light in the form of thermal radiation, which is emitted as heat energy. This radiation is typically in the infrared range and is a result of the Earth's surface absorbing sunlight and then re-emitting it as heat.
What is the meaning of pulsar?
radiate energy
How do stars reflect light of planets and moons?
They don't. It's the planets and moons that reflect the light of stars.
Can you have a sentence using the word radiate?
The warm sun seemed to radiate healing energy on the hikers as they rested by the peaceful lake.
How much heat do humans radiate?
On average, humans radiate about 100 watts of heat energy.
