Yes, planets and moons absorb sunlight to varying degrees, depending on their surface composition and atmosphere. This absorption of light can cause them to heat up, influencing their temperatures and climatic conditions. Some bodies, like Earth, also reflect sunlight, which contributes to their appearance when viewed from space. The balance of absorption and reflection affects their visibility and color as seen from afar.

If a planet has 62 moons would it be dark or light?

it depends if its near a sun. remember, MOONS AND PLANETS ARE NOT LIGHT SOURCES. they simply reflect the suns light. therefore, if they are not near enough to a sun, the moons would be dark, as would the planet, cos there is hardly any light to reflect. (oh and there is no known planet with 62 moons.)


Why planets and moons appear to look shiny?

because they reflect the suns light, so they become visible to us. they twinkle due to the earths atmosphere blocking out some of the light.


Are the stars in the sky different planets and moons we have not discovered yet?

No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.


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.


How the planets emitting light?

They are actually reflecting the suns light


Does the moons produce light?

No, the moon reflects the suns light to make it shine


Why do planets and the moons shine brightly if they do not produce light?

The light comes from the reflection of the suns light off their surface. It may seem like there is not enough light to make them shine so much, but compared to the night sky, there is enough reflected light off their surfaces for us to see detail in the moon and planets.


How many moons are in a sun?

The concept of "moons in a sun" is not scientifically defined, as suns (like our Sun) are stars and do not contain moons. Moons orbit planets, while stars are at the center of solar systems. In our solar system, there are eight planets, each potentially having its own moons, but the Sun itself has no moons.
