The term is "albedo," which is a measure of the reflectivity of a surface or body, indicating how much incoming light is reflected back. A high albedo means more light is reflected, while a low albedo means more light is absorbed.

An object in space that reflects light?

Most stars, like our sun generate light through fusion. However, the planets in our solar system appear like stars but actually are reflecting the light from our sun rather than producing light. The moon also reflects a tremendous amount of light.

What regulates the amount of light that enters in the body tube?

The iris, a muscular structure in the eye, regulates the size of the pupil to adjust the amount of light entering the body tube. In bright light, the iris constricts the pupil to reduce the amount of light, and in dim light, it dilates the pupil to allow more light in for better visibility.


Is moon a shining body?

The moon is not shining body because it does not release light of its own. In our solar system, only the Sun is a "shining body." The Moon shines by the reflected light of the Sun.

What gives moon its light?

Because at night it functions as a mirror for the sun. It's like this: You -------> (watch in this direction) ----> Moon (mirroring the sunlight in your eye) -------------------------------------- ..................^ Earth (blocks the sun) ............................../ .............................................................../ ............................................................/ ........................................................./ ....................................................../ ..................................................Sun (forget about the dots, that's just to position the lines because I can't type spaces in this drawing)


What is the amount of matter in a body?

The amount of matter in a body is typically measured by its mass, which reflects the quantity of material in the body. Mass is a fundamental property of matter and is independent of the body's location and the force of gravity acting on it. It is commonly measured in units like kilograms or grams.

Why is Ice a black body?

It's not. The term "black body" is used to describe a hypothetical perfectly black object that reflects no light at all .here the light refers to entire electromagnetic spectrum. Although the emissivity of ice is near about 0.95 hence it behaves more as black body (emmisivity = 1) than a white body. The reason is for ice to be near about black body is that ice is a very good absorber of radiation outside the visible region (eg for infrared rays ) . Hence ice is more a black body than a white body (as in appearance ).
