Is this a true statement light from the Sun reflects or bounces off planets?

Yes. When light hits the plants, some of them are reflected and the rest absorbed to do work, in this case photosynthesis. This is the result of reflection.

Does the moon earth planets or sun give off their own light?
Yes, it does and it reflects light onto other planets making stars.
Do planets reflect light from the sun?
Yes! The Earth reflects more than half on the sun's light.
Does a planet glow?
No. planets do not glow, they reflect light, like the moon does. The moon does not glow by itself. the light from the sun hits it and reflects and that light is the light we see comign from the moon. The other planets also do this likewise.
What statement best shows why the moon seems to be producing light?
The moon reflects light from the Sun (and the Earth). That is why it appears to glow.
An object in space that reflects light?
Most stars, like our sun generate light through fusion. However, the planets in our solar system appear like stars but actually are reflecting the light from our sun rather than producing light. The moon also reflects a tremendous amount of light.
How can you see Jupiter?
the light from the sun reflects on the planets then bounces back
What happen when light reflects?
When light reflects, on an object it bounces off of the object and you can see the object much more clearly.
How does a mirror reflection work?
it reflects light which bounces back and makes a refletion
How does light behave when it reflects off a surface?
The light bounces of a surface and into your eye so you can see the object.
What happens when light or sound is bounced off an object?
Light reflects and sound just bounces off.
Why are the planets visible even though they are not light sources?
other stars project light to planets reflects right to your eyes
What does a mirror do to light in order to form a reflection?
it bounces back the light because the it is covered with silver at the back which is opaque to light.Thus light reflects back.
Why do the planets reflect the sun's light?
because everything reflects sunlight
Does the moon earth planets or sun give off their own light?
Yes, it does and it reflects light onto other planets making stars.
Does Jupiter emit its own light?
No. Like the other planets it only reflects light from the sun.
What is the difference between a light source and a reflector provide examples for each?
A light source generates and emits its own light. A reflector reflects light (i.e. light bounces off of it) from another source. Examples of light sources: The sun, the stars, a lightbulb, a flame, a red-hot piece of metal. Examples of reflectors: The moon, the planets, the ground lit by the sun.
Are stars the only source of light in the universe?
no. sometimes planets are bright enough that light reflects off of them
