Are satellites luminous or non-luminous?

Non-luminous. Objects which produce light of their own or give out or emit their own light are called luminous objects. Objects which do not produce light of their own, on the other hand, are called non-luminous objects. Luminous objects are objects like stars, sun and other celestial bodies which give out their own light. Objects surrounding us are not such light emitting objects. Therefore, we are surrounded by non-luminous objects.


Why do satellites needs to reflect?

it is so because in outer space , there is no light due to vacuum and so as to track satellites from earth , they reflect light.


What do planets and satellites receive light from?

Stars.


When are satellites visible?

When they reflect the light from the sun or moon.


Does a light bulb produce light?

Are stars moons?

No, stars and moons are two different astronomical bodies. Stars are massive bodies that emit light and produce energy through nuclear fusion, while moons are natural satellites that orbit planets. Moons do not produce their own light but reflect light from the Sun.


Is it true that An atmospheric nuclear event (test) produces a unmistakable light flash characteristic of such events and detectable by satellites?

An atomic explosion will emit all types of energy including all kinds light, heat and radiation as well as a large cloud of debri. The light is bright enough to be seen from space. So is the heat (as infrared) radiation when viewed through appropriate equipment. No other ground activity can generate that amount of light and heat so the answer is yes, it does produce a unmistakable light flash characteristic of such events and detectable by satellites?


Can you see satellites from the ground?

Yes, it is possible to see satellites from the ground with the naked eye. Satellites are typically visible during the early morning or evening hours when the sun's light reflects off them. They appear as moving points of light in the night sky.
