Because cats are closely related to lions and tigers. Lions and tigers are hunters, so their eyes reflect in darkness to hunt prey, even in dim light. Domestic cats are hunters, too, and they related to lions and tigers, so their eyes reflect in the dark.
NO! Lions sleep whenever it is dark. THeir eyes see when its dark or light even when there close dor when the lions sleeping so the lions body wakes up when its "under eyes spot a amount of light!
No, but they DO reflect light very well.
No. In the dark, the eyes of animals, especially animals that are nocturnal, will reflect light and look like they glow. This is the same thing that causes your eyes to "glow" red when someone takes a photo with a flash.
Tigers have two eyes, like most mammals. Their eyes are adapted for hunting in low light conditions and have excellent night vision.
Yes, as it does for most felines.
no
Tigers, as with all cats, have a reflective layer behind the retina. This allows them to use the light twice in the retina, making it much easier to see at night. When cat's eyes appear to glow, you are seeing the escaping reflected light from this surface.
In a phrase which is not grammatically correct such as the above, it's kind of difficult to tell.If the meaning you were going for is along the lines of "her dark eyes reflected the stars" it's not a metaphor.If the meaning you were going for is more like "the light reflected from her dark eyes like stars" that's also not a metaphor, it's a very similar concept called a simile.If you were going for something like "The reflections from her dark eyes were stars in the night", then yes, that's a metaphor.

Yes, light energy can be reflected by an object into your eyes. When light strikes an object, it can bounce off the surface in different directions. Some of this reflected light may enter your eyes, allowing you to see the object.
Black does not reflect any colors, as it absorbs all light in the visible spectrum. This is why black appears dark to our eyes.
Among the light rays falling on the window, some get reflected and others get refracted. If some of the reflected rays reach your eyes, you would be able to see the image. But a dark wall would absorb all rays.
Reflected
We are able to see the tree because light is reflected into your eyes. We see reflected light.
Animals eyes do not glow, their eyes only reflect light. This reflection of light, which appears to make the animal's eye glow, is called eyeshine and it is caused by the tapetum lucidum, which is a layer of tissue in the eyes of many vertebrate animals. The tapetum lucidum allows the animal to see better in low-light situations (such as after dark) by reflecting the light back into the retina. When a photo is taken of an animal that has tapetum lucidum in it's eyes, the light reflected from the flash of the photo often makes the eyes appear to glow. The same thing occurs when light is flashed into the eyes of animals that contain tapetum lucidum after dark.
We can see because our eyes are receptive to the lightwaves reflected off objects.
