Do moons comets and stars shine as a result of reflected light?
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.
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.
Which of these objects reflect light and which emit light Comets Asteroids Planets Sun Meteors Stars?
Objects that reflect light include planets, asteroids, and comets. The Sun emits light as it is a star. Meteors are visible as they burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, reflecting some light. Stars emit their own light through fusion reactions.
How do comets shine?
Comets shine due to the reflection of sunlight off their icy nucleus and dust particles surrounding it. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the nucleus to melt and release gas and dust, forming a glowing coma and tail visible from Earth.
What type of radiation does a comet emit?
Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.
Can planets make their own light?
No. Neither do any of their moons, and neither do any comets or asteroids.

Do comets shine as a result of reflected light?
no Bkuz comets arnt used as mirrors. Ignore that. Yes, comets shine due to reflected light because they do not produce their own light, much as our moon reflects light from the sun causing it to shine in the sky.
What effects does the sun have on comets?
since the comet is made of ice, when it gets nearer to the sun it melts down because of the heat of the sun

Do comets have their own light?
No. The light we see from comets is reflected sunlight. Comets are composed of ice and dust, and do not give off any radiation, visible or otherwise. Because of their high ice content, and the water vapor they trail as they travel toward the sun, they are highly reflective.
Are commets brighter than stars?
No. Stars generate their own light, and are far more massive than any comet. Comets don't shine at all; they merely reflect the light of the Sun. From our perspective here on Earth, some comets appear to be brighter than stars, but only because the comets are here in THIS solar system, relatively nearby, while stars are many light-years away.
Do stars and planets both make their own light?
No. The stars make their own light, but the planets only relect light from the sun.

How do you make your own light?
Make a campfire
