The satellite of Earth that reflects sunlight is the Moon. Its surface is made up of various materials that reflect sunlight, making it visible from Earth. The Moon does not produce its own light; instead, it reflects the light from the Sun, which is why we see it shining in the night sky.
What else can I help you with?
What reflects sunlight off Earth's surface?
Water.
Can a satellite be seen from earth?
Yes, satellites can sometimes be seen from Earth, especially at certain times like early evening or early morning when the sunlight reflects off the satellite and makes it appear as a moving light in the sky. The International Space Station, in particular, is often visible to the naked eye as it orbits the Earth.
How can you describe the moon?
The moon is Earth's natural satellite, about 1/6th the size of Earth. It lacks atmosphere and water, appearing grey because it reflects sunlight. It has phases as it orbits Earth, from new moon to full moon.
Is a moon non-luminous object and not a planet?
Correct. A planet is defined as orbiting a sun. The moon orbits the Earth - so it's a satellite. It doesn't shine under its own 'power' but reflects the light of the sun shining on its surface.It is a non-luminous object
What does the moon refect as it orbits the moon?
The moon reflects sunlight as it orbits the Earth. Its surface appears to change in appearance due to the varying angles at which sunlight hits it, resulting in different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.
What is the percentage of sunlight reflected by the earth's surface?
On average the earth reflects about 30% of the incident sunlight.
What reflects sunlight off Earth's surface?

Does the moon shinesbecause it reflect on the earth light?
no The moon reflects light from the sun not of the earth its also the same with Venus it reflects sunlight
Why do satellites suddenly emit a very bright white light?
Satellites can appear to suddenly emit a very bright white light when sunlight reflects off their solar panels or antennas at certain angles. This phenomenon is known as satellite flare or a satellite glint, and it occurs when sunlight hits a specific part of the satellite's surface and reflects towards the observer on Earth, creating a momentary burst of bright light.
How can you describe the moon?

Is the moon a reflection of the earth?
No, the moon is not a reflection of the Earth. The moon is a natural satellite that orbits the Earth, formed from debris resulting from a massive collision between Earth and a Mars-sized body early in the solar system's history. While it reflects sunlight, it is a solid celestial body with its own surface and characteristics, distinct from the Earth.
What does solar eclipse occur?
the moon reflects more sunlight than Earth does
Is a moon non-luminous object and not a planet?

What does the moon refect as it orbits the moon?
The moon reflects sunlight as it orbits the Earth. Its surface appears to change in appearance due to the varying angles at which sunlight hits it, resulting in different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.
What phase of the moon reflects least amount of sunlight to earth?
new moon (not the movie)
What does annular solar eclipse occur?
the moon reflects more sunlight than Earth does
