What is the difference between the light you see from stars and light you see from planets?
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.
What else can I help you with?
How do stars reflect light of planets and moons?
They don't. It's the planets and moons that reflect the light of stars.
What objects in space emit or reflect light?
Stars, planets, moons, comets, and asteroids emit or reflect light in space. Stars produce their own light through nuclear fusion, while planets and moons reflect light from the Sun. Comets and asteroids can also reflect sunlight, making them visible in the night sky.
What planets produce their own light?
No, planets don't give off light, stars did.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Ehat is the difference between stars and planets?
Stars are massive celestial objects primarily composed of hydrogen and helium that generate energy through nuclear fusion. Planets, on the other hand, are smaller celestial bodies that orbit around stars and do not produce their own light. Planets can be rocky, gaseous, or icy, and they do not undergo nuclear fusion like stars do.
What is the difference between planets and stars in the night sky?
Stars give off light whereas planets reflect light.
How do planets and stars send light to us?
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.
How do stars reflect light of planets and moons?
They don't. It's the planets and moons that reflect the light of stars.
What objects in space emit or reflect light?
Stars, planets, moons, comets, and asteroids emit or reflect light in space. Stars produce their own light through nuclear fusion, while planets and moons reflect light from the Sun. Comets and asteroids can also reflect sunlight, making them visible in the night sky.
Do stars and planets both make their own light?
No. The stars make their own light, but the planets only relect light from the sun.
What planets produce their own light?
No, planets don't give off light, stars did.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.

The way planets and stars are different?
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
What is the difference between a star system and a galaxy?
A galaxy contains planets and a star system contains only stars.
Compare the distance between two stars and the distance between two planets?
The distance between two stars is typically much greater than the distance between two planets. Stars are usually light-years apart, while planets in the same star system are typically within a few astronomical units of each other.
Why do planets need their stars?
Planets need their stars for heat and light, which are essential for supporting life and maintaining stable surface temperatures. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the star helps to keep planets in orbit around it.
