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.

∙ 12y agobecause the moon is natural in night it is there in up sky it is god gift for natural light in night we should thank to god for giving moon.
All the planets, asteroids, comets, and moons that we see in the solar system are
visible because the sun shines on them, exactly the same as shining a flashlight
onto a bunch of rocks in a dark room in order to see them.

How do planets shine even if they are not luminous bodies?
They don't. They reflect light from the sun.
Why are Jovian planets less denser then other planets even though there huge?
because they are made up of gas
Why are the planets visible even though they are not light sources?
other stars project light to planets reflects right to your eyes
How is the formation of stars different from the formation of planets?
Planets are pieces of material that orbit a star such as the earth orbits the sun. Stars are 'suns' and are distributed throughout the universe. Stars are much larger than planets hence the reason that at night stars can be seen in the sky and planets cant even though the stars are much futher away than the other planets in our solar system.
Why are the planets visible enough even though they are not light sources?
-.-.... umm sunlight reflects off the planets and is shot back to earth.
Why is the moon non-luminous even though it gives off light?
The Moon does not produce light of its own. It only reflects some of the light from the Sun.
How do you see the moon and planets even though they don't produce light?
They reflect sunlight towards Earth.

How are moon and planets are visible even if they are not luminous?
For the same reason that a rock is visible even though the rock is not luminous.Some source of light, such as a flashlight, illuminates the rock, and some of thelight from the flashlight bounces off of the rock in just the right direction to enteryour eye.Similarly, in our neighborhood, some source of light, such as a flashlight, illuminatesthe moon and the planets, and some of the light from the flashlight bounces offof the moon and planets in just the right direction to enter our eyes.The Sun is that source of light.
