The major sources of light in space are the stars that are actively fusing matter.
Planets and moons shine by reflected sunlight. However, Earth (with its many electric lighting systems) does give off some light of its own, as do the volcanoes on some geologically active moons.
What else can I help you with?
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 is the source of gravitational pull on the moon?
Planet Earth.
Can a planet shine by its own?
An object requires a source of energy to shine. The Earth does not. Pictures of the Earth are always taken with the reflection of the Suns energy - similar to how you see the Moon.
Size of the illuminated portion of planet or moon?
The size of the illuminated portion of a planet or moon can vary depending on its position relative to the light source, typically the sun. The illuminated portion represents the side facing the light source, while the unilluminated portion is in shadow. This distribution of light and shadow creates phases for the object, such as the lunar phases of the Moon.
What is the parent planet of the moon?
The parent planet of a moon is the planet that the moon orbits around. For example, the parent planet of Earth's moon is Earth itself. Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets due to gravitational forces, with the parent planet being the primary celestial body that the moon is gravitationally bound to.
Which planet is a source of light The earth the moon or the sun a satellite?
The sun is a source of light, but it is not a planet.
What planet block the light from moon?
No planet blocks the light from the moon. The moon's phases are caused by the position of the moon relative to Earth and the Sun. At times, the Earth's shadow can cause a lunar eclipse, but this is not a planet blocking the moon's light.
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.
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.
What is the source of gravitational pull on the moon?
Planet Earth.
What is the source of the light on earth and on the moon?
The sun
What is an eclispe?
When the moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching Earth, and also when our planet Earth blocks the Sun's light from reaching the moon.
Can a planet shine by its own?
An object requires a source of energy to shine. The Earth does not. Pictures of the Earth are always taken with the reflection of the Suns energy - similar to how you see the Moon.
how did the moon landings prove to us that the moon is not a light source?
They proved it when they went to the moon they saw the earth shinning. They then understood that the moon reflects the light from the earth

What is the closet planet to moon?
The closest planet to the Moon is Earth. The Moon is Earth's natural satellite and is closest to our planet in terms of distance.
What planet is closer to the moon?
Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
