How can you see planet mars from earth?
it is quite large and reflects a lot of light from our sun
Why is mars visible at night?
you can see it but it is very far away it might look like a star but if is not twinkle or sparkle it is a planet. :)
Where does Mars get light from?
The Sun. Venus is a planet so it doesn't give off its own light. It appears very bright because its dense cloud cover reflects much of the incoming sunlight.
If 1 AU equals 8.3 light minutes is mars from the sun?
Mars is on average about 1.5 AU from the Sun. This means that Mars is approximately 12.45 light minutes away from the Sun.
Does the moon give off light or reflect it?
The moon reflects light just as any other object reflects light that falls upon it. Only about 7% of the light from the Sun is reflected off the moon's surface == ==The moon reflects the light from the sun.
Does mars reflect or emits light?
Mars does not emit its own light. Rather it reflects sunlight that falls on it.

How many light years is mars from the sun?
Mars is about 12 light-minutes away from the Sun. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in the Solar System.
Is the moon a natural source of light though it reflects the sun's light?
No- it reflects the natural light of the sun, so the sun is the source.
Is Mars luminous?
Mars is not luminous in the same way as stars or celestial objects that emit their own light. Mars appears bright in the night sky because it reflects sunlight, but it does not produce its own light like a star.
Is Mars luminous or not?
It can be with the light it reflects from the sun, but not over long distances. Mars does not emit light except in the very long wavelengths (infra red). It is non-luminous. It is only visible because of the light it reflects, as the first answer states.
How long does it take for a light ray leaving the sun to reach Mars when Mars is closest to the sun?
Mars is closest to the sun at a distance of about 206,669,000 kilometers. That's about 11.49 light minutes.
What the moon does to light from the sun?
it reflects the light.
Why do the moon and planets shine?
Mars is called "the red planet" because of its high iron content. It may appear blue if visible in the night sky because of our atmosphere filtering out some wavelengths of the sun's light (which reflects off of Mars's surface, and into your eyes).
Where does Mars get light from?
The Sun. Venus is a planet so it doesn't give off its own light. It appears very bright because its dense cloud cover reflects much of the incoming sunlight.
