Let's see, how can I improve on that last answer? Yes they do. Let's think about this. The core is about 9800 degrees F. That is some heat. The light from the sun aggitates the molecules in our atmosphere ) kind of like the person who gave that last answer) and that is why we feel heat in the air. That is why it is colder in higher altitudes where the air is thinner.

Heat does not travel from the sun to the earth. Heat is produced here on the planet as light is polarized to duplicate the conditions of the sun with EM wave motions. Particles only leave the sun during coronal mass ejections. The light you see on the sun is excitation from photons which are not substance, but the coronal mass ejection is matter and can mess up our infrastructure here if we don't prepare for that. However, light doesn't travel either it's actually light reproducing itself from wave field to wave field. Everything is fractal

Why planets are not luminous?

because the heat of the crust of the planets is not enough to produce light of its own


What is hotter planets or stars?

Stars are hotter than planets. Stars are massive balls of gas that produce heat and light through nuclear reactions in their cores, while planets do not produce their own heat and rely on the heat they receive from the star they orbit.


Do the planets have their own light?

no. because the planets get their own light because of the heat of the sun .


What planets produce their own light?

No, planets don't give off light, stars did.


What is the name for planets that give out their own light?

Planets that emit their own light are referred to as "self-luminous" or "intrinsically luminous" objects. However, in astronomy, most planets do not produce their own light; instead, they reflect the light of their parent stars. The term "exoplanets" often describes planets outside our solar system, and while they may have some heat or light from internal processes, they primarily shine by reflecting starlight. In contrast, stars are the celestial bodies that generate their own light through nuclear fusion.


Do planets stars and comets shine as a result of reflected light?

Planets and comets shine because of reflected light because they do not produce their own light. Stars are enormous balls of gas that are undergoing fusion which releases a very large amount of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light. So stars shine because they produce their own light and not because they reflect light.


How are stars and planets different?

First of all, planets are way smaller than stars, stars are probably 10-1000's of times bigger than plants. Another thing is stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they burn and give of heat, which by far planets don't give off. The third thing is Stars have more gravity than planets so they make smaller bodies orbit around them. Planets are dark balls of rock and gas that orbit a star and stars are giant balls of hot gases that makes its own light and heat


If planets do not produce their own light how would we be able to see mars and venus?

Like our Moon, other planets can also reflect light from our Sun.


Planets do not light energy of their own?

Generally true, planets don't emit their own light, but are visible largely because of reflected light, the illumination provided by their star, in the case of our solar system, by the Sun. Some planets might produce trivial amounts of light by other means, for example from lightning, volcanism, mineral fluorescence, etc.


Does light produce heat?

Yes, light does produce heat. When light is absorbed by an object, the energy from the light is converted into heat, which can raise the temperature of the object. This is why objects can feel warm when exposed to sunlight or other sources of light.


Do planets have their own light?

no planets crust does not have light of their own but the core of the earth has light of its own


What can the sun do that the moon and other planets cant?

The Sun is a star that emits light and heat through nuclear fusion, providing energy for life on Earth. Other planets do not have this capability and only reflect light from the Sun. The Moon is a satellite that reflects sunlight but does not produce its own light.
