All planets in the solar system reflect light from the Sun at night; remember they rotate on their axis and so during their night (or our night, for that matter) one side of a planet will always be facing the sun. Whether they're visible from an observer on Earth during our night is a different question - the inner planets, by virtue of the fact they're closer to the Sun, could be seen only in favorable conditions near sunset or sunrise (since they couldn't appear more distant than a narrow angle away from the sun in the sky, being inside Earth's orbit).

Does Saturn emit or reflect light?
It reflects light. The only body in our solar system that emits light is the sun. The Earth also emits light from fires, volcanic eruptions and electric lighting but not enough to illuminate something as large as another planet.
Does moon in the sky emits light?
No, it reflects the light from the sun onto the Earth.
How is the moon and the sun not alike?
The Sun is a star and emits solar light, and is at the centre of our Universe. The Moon is a small satellite planet that orbits the Earth, and only reflects the light striking the Moon's surface.
What planet is brighter the moon or the sun?
Neither the sun nor the moon are planets. The sun is brighter than the moon by far. The sun emits its own light. The moon only reflects light from the sun.
Does mars reflect or emits light?
Mars does not emit its own light. Rather it reflects sunlight that falls on it.
do moon reflects light or emits?
it reflects
How are the sun and moon different?
The sun is a star that is extremely hot and is a source of light for the planet. While the moon is a mass that orbits around earth and reflects light.

If an object emits or reflects light?
It can be seen by the eye.
Is Jupiter a luminous or non luminous planet?
Jupiter is not luminous in that it emits light, it reflects the Suns light so that it is visible to us on Earth. See also Albedo.
What is the difference between a planet and a star with regard to the light in space?
A star generates energy, including light, which it emits into space, i.e. it is luminous. A planet can only be seen because it reflects the Sun's light, i.e. it is non-luminous.
Does the earth emits light?
The Earth does not emit light, it like the moon reflects light
Does moon in the sky emits light?
No, it reflects the light from the sun onto the Earth.

Why does a planet shine?
A planet reflects light from another sourse such as the sun.
Are you able to see an object when it emits or reflects one or more visible light frequencies?
Yes.
