Well many things one of them is the moon! Many people used to think that is would shine or produce it's own light but now people know that the light from the sun is reflected off of it.

What things in space reflect light?

Planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and dust particles are examples of objects in space that reflect light. These objects reflect light either from the Sun or from other nearby sources, making them visible to observers on Earth or with telescopes in space.


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 are the source of light for all objects in space?

The primary source of light for objects in space is usually stars, which emit light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation through nuclear fusion in their cores. Some objects in space can also reflect light from nearby stars or other sources, contributing to their overall brightness.


Why can e see objects in space?

We can see objects in space because they reflect or emit light. When light from a star, planet, or other celestial object reaches our eyes or telescopes on Earth, we are able to observe and study them.


What are three things that reflect light in space?

Planets: Bodies in space that reflect light from a nearby star, such as the Earth reflecting sunlight. Moons: Natural satellites that reflect light from their parent planet or from the sun, like Earth's moon reflecting sunlight. Asteroids: Rocky or metallic objects in space that can reflect sunlight if they are large enough and have a shiny surface.

Why does space appear black?

We can directly observe light sources and objects that reflect light. Since space contains little of either, it mostly appears black.


Which word tells light-colored objects do to heat and light?

Reflect. Light-colored objects reflect heat and light, while dark-colored objects absorb heat and light.

Why are you unable to see non- luminous objects in a dark box?

Because light can't directly reach the objects, or reflect well off the inside walls of the box. So not enough light bounces off the walls, then bounces off the objects, and then goes to your eyes.


What are objects that reflect scatter or transmit light said to be?

Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".


Do only shiny objects reflect light?

No, all objects reflect light to some degree, both shiny and non-shiny. Shiny objects tend to reflect more light due to their smooth and polished surfaces, while non-shiny objects may reflect less light and appear duller because of their rough or textured surfaces.


Could dark objects reflect light?

Yes. There is hardly anything that reflects NO light; dark objects simply reflect less light than light objects.

How does the sun reflect?

The sun does not reflect as it is a source of light itself. However, objects in space or on Earth can reflect sunlight by bouncing the light off their surfaces, like the Moon reflecting sunlight back to Earth.
