There are 2 ways to answer this question. A: I could bore you to death with a 20-page essay. B: I could simply say that every point in the universe is lighted by the nearest star. Some parts of space are desolate of stars, and so they are dark and without light.

What is the universe's primary source of light?

The universe's primary source of light is stars. Stars are massive balls of gas that undergo nuclear fusion, generating heat and light that radiates out into space. Other sources of light in the universe include galaxies, quasars, and other celestial objects.


Is all light energy solar system?

No, not all light energy in the universe comes from our solar system. Light energy can come from various sources such as stars, galaxies, and even artificial sources like light bulbs. Our solar system is a small part of the universe where the Sun is the primary source of light energy.


How far in light years is the most distant know source in the universe?

The most distant known source in the universe is a galaxy called GN-z11, which is approximately 13.4 billion light-years away from Earth. This means that the light we see from GN-z11 today started its journey towards us over 13 billion years ago.


What is a visible object that is not a light source?

A visible object that is not a light source is any other object in the universe. Objects that are not light sources reflect light and are thus made to be visible.Examples include:planetspeoplethe mooncarsdogsflowersbooksrocks, either in daylight, or else illuminated by a flashlighta light bulb or LED with the power switched off


Does the universe have an outer edgeor?

There is no evidence that the universe has an outer edge. The universe is thought to be spatially infinite, meaning it goes on forever in all directions. Our observable universe is limited by the speed of light and the age of the universe, not by a physical boundary.

Is the sun the only light source in the universe?

No, the Sun is not the only light source in the univrse. Every star is it's own light source, just as the sun is, but due to there distance they are not very effective. The Moon also creates a light source, because it reflects the light from the Sun back to earth. In the same way, if we where on the Moon, the Earth would be a light source, reflecting the light from the Sun at the moon.

Photons travel outward from a light source in?

the photons travel outward from a light source in all directions.


Why is the speed of light constant in all reference frames?

The speed of light is constant in all reference frames because it is a fundamental property of the universe according to Einstein's theory of relativity. This means that no matter how fast an observer is moving or how they are moving relative to the source of light, they will always measure the speed of light to be the same value.


What is the source of heat and light for all the plants?

What is the difference between light source and an illuminant?

The terms light source and illuminant have precise and different meanings. A light source is a physical emitter of radiation such as a candle, a tungsten bulb, and natural daylight. An illuminant is the specification for a potential light source. All light sources can be specified as an illuminant, but not all illuminants can be physically realized as a light source.


Are there any known fusion reactions in the universe?

Definitely. Nuclear fusion is the source of all the light, heat, and other energy generated and radiated by every star you see, including the sun.
