Objects in our solar system that revolve around the Sun and reflect light:
* Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all orbit the Sun and reflect sunlight, making them visible to us.
* Moons: The moons of planets like Earth (the Moon), Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto), Saturn (Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, etc.) also reflect sunlight.
* Asteroids: These rocky bodies found mostly in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter also reflect sunlight.
* Comets: While comets have a tail made of gas and dust that can be seen, the nucleus of a comet is a solid icy body that reflects sunlight.
Important to note:
* Reflecting vs. Emitting: Objects like stars (including our Sun) emit their own light through nuclear fusion. Planets, moons, asteroids, and comets reflect the light of the Sun.
* Brightness: The brightness of an object we see depends on how much sunlight it reflects and how far away it is.
