Visible light is defined as ALL frequencies in the range of 380 to 750 nm, and shows up as a smooth transition of colors like a rainbow when we split it up with a prism or diffraction grating. The spectrum of a star (like our Sun) contains (or is missing, depending on how you look at it) absorption lines that show up as dark lines in the spectrum. The link below has a very good visual comparison.
The light from stars is created by the stars themselves. The light from the planets is sunlight reflected off the planets back to you.
Light from a planet is reflected light, whereas light from a star is radiated
The visible spectrum is a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Visible light is the radiation with a wavelength between 380 and 760 nm (nanometers).
They don't. It's the planets and moons that reflect the light of stars.
No, planets don't give off light, stars did.
Planets do not technically need their respective stars, but stars keep planets in orbit and provide heat and light to the planets.
Stars do, by their own power. Planets merely reflect light.
if you think its short then its short.if you think its big then its big.
Stars give off light whereas planets reflect light.
No. That's precisely the main difference between planets and stars - that stars can have nuclear fusion, planets not.
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.
the stars emitt its own light. But the planets do not have any own light. It absorbs the light from the stars like a sun. It just reflects the light. And also the stars are far away from the earth than the planets. So we can found the twinkling of stars but not the planets.

No. The stars make their own light, but the planets only relect light from the sun.

This is a very good question - the difference between an asterism and constellation is this: a constellation is a pattern of stars that identifies a complete object, animal or character. An asterism is a pattern of stars that is NOT a constellation.
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
