Why do planets and moons seem to appear shiny?

They reflect light from the sun back to observers on earth, unlike the stars, which emit their own light. Everything in our solar system is `lit up` by our sun, which emits light. The planets and moons (along with comets and other objects) don't emit light themselves, but are illuminated by the sun.


Why do planets and moons seem to emit light yet they are not stars?

They are reflecting the light that is released by the Sun.
