No, planets don't give off light, stars did.

Do stars and planets glow?

Stars emit their own light due to nuclear fusion in their cores, making them glow brightly. Planets, on the other hand, do not produce their own light but instead reflect light from a nearby star (usually the Sun), causing them to appear as glowing objects in the sky.


Are stars moons?

No, stars and moons are two different astronomical bodies. Stars are massive bodies that emit light and produce energy through nuclear fusion, while moons are natural satellites that orbit planets. Moons do not produce their own light but reflect light from the Sun.


Are planets celestial bodys?

Yes, planets are celestial bodies as they are natural objects that orbit stars, such as our sun. These objects do not produce light of their own but reflect light from the sun. Planets are distinguished from stars by their lack of nuclear fusion in their cores.


How many space objects produce their own light?

Only a small fraction of space objects produce their own light. The primary objects that do are stars, which generate light through nuclear fusion in their cores. Other celestial bodies like planets and moons do not emit their own light but reflect the light of stars. Additionally, some phenomena like supernovae and certain types of nebulae can produce their own light temporarily.


Planets are which object because they reflect light from another source?

Albedo Planets...? That is what i put on my science worksheet.albedo: Reflectivity of an object; ratio of reflected light to incident light. albedo feature: A dark or light... Hope This Helps!((:

Why planets are not luminous?

because the heat of the crust of the planets is not enough to produce light of its own


Do planets stars and comets shine as a result of reflected light?

Planets and comets shine because of reflected light because they do not produce their own light. Stars are enormous balls of gas that are undergoing fusion which releases a very large amount of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light. So stars shine because they produce their own light and not because they reflect light.


If planets do not produce their own light how would we be able to see mars and venus?

Like our Moon, other planets can also reflect light from our Sun.


Planets do not light energy of their own?

Generally true, planets don't emit their own light, but are visible largely because of reflected light, the illumination provided by their star, in the case of our solar system, by the Sun. Some planets might produce trivial amounts of light by other means, for example from lightning, volcanism, mineral fluorescence, etc.


Do planets have their own light?

no planets crust does not have light of their own but the core of the earth has light of its own


Why moon and planets shine and produce light?

The moon and planets reflect sunlight, they do not produce light.

Do the planets have their own light?

no. because the planets get their own light because of the heat of the sun .
