Well, darling, the moon's light actually comes from the sun. You see, the sun's rays hit the moon's surface and get reflected back to us, creating that beautiful glowing orb in the night sky. So, next time you're moon-gazing, just remember you're actually looking at Sun Part Two.

When light comes from the sun does it shine straight on Jupiter and its moons or does it shine on Jupiter then from there the light reflects to Jupiter's moons?

It shines directly on both Jupiter and its moons. There is no reason it shouldn't, as, other than periodic eclipses from Jupiter, nothing blocks the sunlight from reaching those moons. The moons do get some reflected light from Jupiter as well, just as Earth gets some light from our moon.


Where do light waves originate?

Light waves originate from a light source, such as the sun, a light bulb, or a laser. When an object absorbs energy, it can emit photons, which are the elementary particles of light that travel as electromagnetic waves.

If a planet has 62 moons would it be dark or light?

it depends if its near a sun. remember, MOONS AND PLANETS ARE NOT LIGHT SOURCES. they simply reflect the suns light. therefore, if they are not near enough to a sun, the moons would be dark, as would the planet, cos there is hardly any light to reflect. (oh and there is no known planet with 62 moons.)

No, stars and moons are two different astronomical bodies. Stars are massive bodies that emit light and produce energy through nuclear fusion, while moons are natural satellites that orbit planets. Moons do not produce their own light but reflect light from the Sun.
