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?
kljl
What will happen when a light is shone at a mirror?
it will reflect off it
Can gray rock reflect light?
If an object doesn't reflect light, it will appear perfectly black. So yes, in a sense, a rock does reflect light, since this is what enables you to see it. It is, however, a poor reflector, compared with, say, water, or a mirror. If an object doesn't reflect light, it will appear perfectly black.

What are the rank from largest to smallest the bodies in space that reflect light?
planets moons asteroids meteorites meteors
What bodies in your Galaxy give off or reflect light?
The stars give off light
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.
How do planets shine even if they are not luminous bodies?
They don't. They reflect light from the sun.
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.
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
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.
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
What does non-luminous mean?
Non-luminous refers to objects or bodies that do not produce their own light but instead reflect light from other sources. Examples of non-luminous objects include most planets in our solar system, which reflect sunlight rather than generate their own light.
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!((:
Cámara reflect light?
Telescope reflect light
