There are basically two types of bodies in space, those that emit light, and those that reflect it. Any body which doesn't emit light reflects it. However, the amount of reflection will depend on the colour, texture, and chemical nature of the surface. Also, everything else being equal, a body further from sources of light will reflect less light than one that is closer.
Something which you might consider an exception to the above is a black hole, which absorbs all light that strikes its event horizon. However, it's debatable whether or not a black hole is really a 'body'.
What else can I help you with?
Does a shiny penny reflect light?
yes. a penny can reflect light by cutting a hole in it.
What is a source of indirect light?
anything that does not produce light but can reflect it
Does flame reflect light?

What are luminos body?
Bodies which emit light are luminous bodies and those who don't emit light are known as non luminous bodies Example - stars are luminous bodies while planets are non luminous bodies Tube light is a luminous body while a chair is non luminous
What will happen when a light is shone at a mirror?
it will reflect off it
What are the rank from largest to smallest the bodies in space that reflect light?
planets moons asteroids meteorites meteors
What is the difference between bodies that emit light and bodies that reflect light?
Bodies that emit light produce their own light through a process like thermal radiation or chemical reactions, while bodies that reflect light simply bounce off light that falls on them from another source. Emitting light produces self-generated illumination, while reflecting light allows an object to be visible by reflecting light from external sources.
What bodies in your Galaxy give off or reflect light?
The stars give off light
How do planets shine even if they are not luminous bodies?
They don't. They reflect light from the sun.
What are the electromagnetic waves from smallest wavelength to largest?
With longest wavelength to shortest Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible radiations, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray
What group of heavenly bodies that do not shine their own light?
Planets are heavenly bodies that do not shine their own light. They reflect light from the sun, which is why we can see them in the night sky.
What gives out or reflects light?
Heavenly bodies either give out of reflect light. Stars are suns that shine with enormous power and therefore spew forth light into the observable universe. Planets, moons and such are the receivers of this light and reflect it.
Can you shrink your pupil?
your pupils are smallest when there is bright light shining in your eyes they are largest when it is dark, to allow most light possible in
Can a star reflect the sun's light?
Stars are themselves celestial bodies that emit light by atomic fusion and fission and is not a dead planet to reflect our sun's light.
What reflect light in the universe?
In the universe, various objects reflect light, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. These bodies do not emit their own light but instead reflect sunlight or light from other sources. For example, the Moon reflects sunlight, making it visible from Earth, while asteroids can reflect light due to their rocky surfaces. Additionally, gas clouds and dust in space can scatter and reflect light from nearby stars, contributing to the illumination of the cosmos.
What are some celestial bodies that reflect light?
Celestial bodies that reflect light include planets, moons, and certain asteroids. For example, the Moon reflects sunlight, making it visible from Earth. Similarly, planets like Venus and Jupiter can be seen shining brightly due to their reflective atmospheres or surfaces. Additionally, some asteroids, such as Ceres, can also reflect sunlight, albeit less brightly than larger bodies.
What can be seen from the earth because they reflect light from an object?
Objects that reflect light and can be seen from Earth include the Moon and planets in our solar system, such as Venus and Mars. These celestial bodies do not produce their own light but instead reflect sunlight, making them visible in the night sky. Additionally, artificial satellites and space debris can also reflect light, sometimes appearing as bright points moving across the sky.
