What else can I help you with?
Does the moon creates its own light?
No, the moon does not create its own light. It reflects sunlight from the Sun, which is why we see different phases of the moon as it orbits the Earth.
What does light do when it is reflected?
When light is reflected, it bounces off a surface without being absorbed, redirecting its path. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing light) in accordance with the law of reflection. This is how we see objects by the light that reflects off them into our eyes.
How are moon and planets are visible even if they are not luminous?
For the same reason that a rock is visible even though the rock is not luminous.Some source of light, such as a flashlight, illuminates the rock, and some of thelight from the flashlight bounces off of the rock in just the right direction to enteryour eye.Similarly, in our neighborhood, some source of light, such as a flashlight, illuminatesthe moon and the planets, and some of the light from the flashlight bounces offof the moon and planets in just the right direction to enter our eyes.The Sun is that source of light.
Does the moon have own light?
the light from the moon is a reflection of the light from the sun
Does the moon earth planets or sun give off their own light?
Yes, it does and it reflects light onto other planets making stars.
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.
What is the best object that bounces light?
A mirror is the best object that bounces light as it reflects light at the same angle it hits the surface, resulting in a clear and complete reflection.
When light bounces is it absorbed?
When light bounces off a surface, it is not absorbed by the surface unless the material is specifically designed to absorb light, such as in solar panels. Instead, the light reflects off the surface, which allows us to see objects and colors.
What happens if you shine a light into a mirror?
When you shine a light into a mirror, the light reflects off the mirror's surface and bounces back in the opposite direction. This is called specular reflection. The angle at which the light hits the mirror will be equal to the angle at which it bounces off.
What is the term for an item that blocks and reflects light?
The term for an item that blocks and reflects light is "mirror." Mirrors have a reflective surface that bounces light off it, allowing us to see our reflection.
How does light behave when it reflects off a surface?
When light reflects off a surface, it follows the law of reflection stating that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that the angle at which the light strikes the surface is equal to the angle at which it 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
Why do the planets reflect the sun's light?
because everything reflects sunlight
Does Jupiter emit its own light?
No. Like the other planets it only reflects light from the sun.
How do you see objects when light bounces off them?
When light bounces off an object, it reflects in all directions. Some of this reflected light enters our eyes and is processed by the brain, allowing us to perceive the object. The color and intensity of the light that is reflected determine how we see the object.
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.
