If planets do not produce their own light how are we able to see mars and venus in the night?

The Sun reflects light from the surfaces of the planets and that way we are able to see them from Earth, hence why the further away the planets are, the more difficult it is to see them. Not impossible, but difficult.


Why can you see planets in the night sky even though they are not luminous?

Light from the Sun reflects off of its surface. This also applies to why you cans see all the planets and their moons as well.


Why are you able to see planets in the solar system?

We can see planets in the solar system because they reflect sunlight, making them visible from Earth. Due to their size and proximity to the Sun, planets appear as bright points of light in the night sky. Telescopes also help magnify and clarify our view of planets.


How is it possible for us to see the planets if they don't produce their own light?

As most objects do NOT produce their own light, we see them when they reflects light from other sources. The light that reflected from non-luminous objects comes from a light source like Sun or lamp.


Do we see planets because like the sun they are sources of light?

No, we don't see planets because they are sources of light like the sun. Instead, planets are visible because they reflect sunlight that hits their surfaces. Unlike stars, which generate their own light through nuclear fusion, planets shine by reflecting the light of their nearby stars, such as our Sun. This is why we can see them in the night sky.

Why can you see planets and stars on a night?

The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
