What is terrestrial light?
Terrestrial light refers to the visible light that originates from sources on Earth, such as sunlight, moonlight, and artificial lighting. This term distinguishes Earth-based light from astronomical light sources like stars and planets.
How is it possible for us to see the planets if they don't produce their own light?
As most objects do NOT produce their own light, we see them when they reflects light from other sources. The light that reflected from non-luminous objects comes from a light source like Sun or lamp.
Why you can see other planets and the moon?
You can see the other planets and the moon (at night), because like the Earth, they all reflect light from the Sun.
Which planets are very light because of the great amount of gas they contain?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are considered gas giants in our solar system, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. These planets are very light due to their low density compared to terrestrial planets like Earth.
Planets do not light energy of their own?
Generally true, planets don't emit their own light, but are visible largely because of reflected light, the illumination provided by their star, in the case of our solar system, by the Sun. Some planets might produce trivial amounts of light by other means, for example from lightning, volcanism, mineral fluorescence, etc.
Do you see planet because like the sun they are sources of light?
No. Planets do not generate their own light; they reflect the light of the Sun.
What are non-luminous source of light?
Non-luminous sources of light do not produce their own light but reflect or scatter light from other sources. Examples include the moon, planets, and objects like books or walls that reflect light from other sources like the sun or artificial lighting.

Why can you see stars and planets in the night sky?
You see stars because nuclear fusion is going on inside them, generating huge amounts of energy, and some of it leaves the star in the form of visible light. In other words, stars make their own light, and they are sources of light. You see planets, moons, and anything else in the sky, because the sun shines on them and lights them up, like a flashlight.
What are some luminous sources of light in the solar system?
The Sun is the main luminous source of light in the solar system. Other luminous sources include the Moon, which reflects sunlight, and some planets like Venus and Jupiter, which reflect and emit light due to their own processes. Additionally, certain moons like Io and Europa also reflect light from their parent planets.
Does the auroras look like poles of light curtains of light branches of light or planets of light?
Auroras looks like the poles of light curtains. It does not look like light branches of light or planets of light.
Does the auroras look like poles of light curtains of light branches of light or planets of light in the night sky?
The auroras look like poles of light curtains in the night sky and not like the light branches of light or the planets of light.
Are planets dimmer than stars?
Actually planets are non luminous objects , so Planets are totally dim . It seems like they are quite bright , because they reflect the Sunlight ( Stars light ) falling on them . So , yes of course , they are far dimmer than stars .
Why you can see other planets and the moon?
You can see the other planets and the moon (at night), because like the Earth, they all reflect light from the Sun.
Are moons more like planets or more like the sun?
Planets cause they are not light emitters but reflectors
Recognize the sources of light in the solar system?
The main source of light in the solar system is the Sun, which emits light through nuclear fusion in its core. Other sources of light in the solar system include reflected sunlight off planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, as well as natural phenomena like volcanic eruptions and lightning. Artificial sources of light, such as spacecraft or probes, can also contribute to illumination.
