What else can I help you with?
What an object that orbits a sun but does not make its own light?
Pluto (if you still consider it as a planet),
Does the moon shinesbecause it reflect on the earth light?
no The moon reflects light from the sun not of the earth its also the same with Venus it reflects sunlight
Why does the earth experience moon phases?
The Earth experiences moon phases because of the changing positions of the Moon, Earth, and the Sun. As the Moon orbits the Earth, different amounts of sunlight reflect off its surface, creating the varying shapes we see from Earth.
Why the brightest object in the night sky if it does not make its own light?
The moon is the closest heavenly body to the earth and because of its relatively high albedo it reflects a lot of the light falling on it hence it is the brightest object in the night sky. Similar reasons also apply to Venus, which is also a very bright object.
What planet number is the moon?
the moon is not a planet. The moon is a natural satelite that orbits the earth. It has no light but it will emit the sun's light at night.
What does the moon refect as it orbits the moon?
The moon reflects sunlight as it orbits the Earth. Its surface appears to change in appearance due to the varying angles at which sunlight hits it, resulting in different phases of the moon as seen from Earth.
It likely to be the dictionary definition of moon?
The moon is the natural satellite of Earth, visible in the sky at night as a bright or crescent-shaped object. It orbits the Earth and reflects light from the sun.
How are the sun and moon different?
The sun is a star that is extremely hot and is a source of light for the planet. While the moon is a mass that orbits around earth and reflects light.
Is a moon non-luminous object and not a planet?
Correct. A planet is defined as orbiting a sun. The moon orbits the Earth - so it's a satellite. It doesn't shine under its own 'power' but reflects the light of the sun shining on its surface.It is a non-luminous object
Why does the moon appear to change shape as it orbits the earth?
Because the light from the sun reflects of the moon so when the moon orbits the sun which means you can only see the part of the moon that has light reflecting off it
Why is the moon considered the Earth's satellite?
The moon is considered Earth's satellite because it orbits around the Earth as it travels through space. It doesn't emit light of its own but reflects the light from the sun, making it visible to us at night. Its gravitational pull also affects the tides on Earth.
What happen when light reflects?
When light reflects, on an object it bounces off of the object and you can see the object much more clearly.
Do an opaque object reflects the light that it does not absorb?
true
What an object that orbits a sun but does not make its own light?
Pluto (if you still consider it as a planet),
Does the moon creates its own light?
No, the moon does not create its own light. It reflects sunlight from the Sun, which is why we see different phases of the moon as it orbits the Earth.
What is an object absorbs or reflects all light?
An object that absorbs all light appears black because it absorbs all colors of light equally. An object that reflects all light appears white because it reflects all colors of light equally.
What is is called when light reflects off from an object?
An Object which reflects light is called an illuminous object. e.g) The Moon: Reflects off sunlight
