What are the colors of the largest and smallest stars?

The largest stars, known as red hypergiants, can appear red or orange in color due to their cool surface temperatures. The smallest stars, like red dwarfs, are cooler and emit a dim red light.


What is the objects revolving around and reflecting light from the sun?

The objects that revolve around and reflect light from the Sun include planets, moons, asteroids, and comets within our solar system. Planets like Earth and Mars reflect sunlight, making them visible from space and on Earth. Additionally, moons orbiting these planets also reflect sunlight, contributing to their visibility in the night sky. These celestial bodies do not emit their own light; instead, they shine by reflecting the Sun's light.


What are objects revolving around and reflecting-light from the sun called?

Objects that revolve around the Sun and reflect light from it are primarily called "planets." This category includes both terrestrial planets, like Earth and Mars, and gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn. Additionally, moons that orbit these planets and other smaller bodies like asteroids and comets also reflect sunlight. Collectively, these celestial bodies are part of our solar system.


What is the origin of the quote Our eyes reflect the light of dead stars?

The quote "Our eyes reflect the light of dead stars" reflects the scientific concept that the atoms in our bodies, including those in our eyes, were formed from elements produced in the cores of stars that have long since died. This highlights our connection to the universe and the idea that we are made of stardust.


Type of light source that reflects light rays?

Light doesn't reflect light, nor does any other electromagnetic radiation.

Rank from largest to smallest the bodies in space that reflect light?

There are basically two types of bodies in space, those that emit light, and those that reflect it. Any body which doesn't emit light reflects it. However, the amount of reflection will depend on the colour, texture, and chemical nature of the surface. Also, everything else being equal, a body further from sources of light will reflect less light than one that is closer. Something which you might consider an exception to the above is a black hole, which absorbs all light that strikes its event horizon. However, it's debatable whether or not a black hole is really a 'body'.


What bodies in your Galaxy give off or reflect light?

The stars give off light


What is the difference between bodies that emit light and bodies that reflect light?

Bodies that emit light produce their own light through a process like thermal radiation or chemical reactions, while bodies that reflect light simply bounce off light that falls on them from another source. Emitting light produces self-generated illumination, while reflecting light allows an object to be visible by reflecting light from external sources.


How do planets shine even if they are not luminous bodies?

They don't. They reflect light from the sun.


What group of heavenly bodies that do not shine their own light?

Planets are heavenly bodies that do not shine their own light. They reflect light from the sun, which is why we can see them in the night sky.


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.


What are the electromagnetic waves from smallest wavelength to largest?

With longest wavelength to shortest Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible radiations, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray


Can a star reflect the sun's light?

Stars are themselves celestial bodies that emit light by atomic fusion and fission and is not a dead planet to reflect our sun's light.


Can you shrink your pupil?

your pupils are smallest when there is bright light shining in your eyes they are largest when it is dark, to allow most light possible in


What does non-luminous mean?

Non-luminous refers to objects or bodies that do not produce their own light but instead reflect light from other sources. Examples of non-luminous objects include most planets in our solar system, which reflect sunlight rather than generate their own light.


Planets are which object because they reflect light from another source?

Albedo Planets...? That is what i put on my science worksheet.albedo: Reflectivity of an object; ratio of reflected light to incident light. albedo feature: A dark or light... Hope This Helps!((:
