All of them.
Don't think of reflecting as reflecting like a mirror. An ordinary rock, like any Earth rock, reflects light. If the rough rock did not reflect any light at all, it would look completely black. If it reflected all the light that hit it, it would look completely white. Any other color means the rock reflects some of the light and absorbs some. To make a mirror, take a bright white substance which reflects lots of light, like silver, and polish it smooth.

The moon is mostly basalt-type rock and dust like fine powder. All things on the moon reflect sunlight, some more than others. When a body has a high reflective index, it is said to have a high "albedo." Icy planets, for example, have a high albedo, because of all the "white." Some asteroids and moons are made up of darker colored materials, and they have a low albedo.

Hi. Pretty much all of them reflect sunlight. I don't know if quartz crystals exist on the Moon's surface and if so they might reflect less. The Moon is very much brighter near full moon than near quarter moon (really half moon). By this I mean the half moon reflects much less light in our direction that the full moon does in our direction. This is because every rock, hill, crater rim, and dust particle has a shadow. We don't see the shadows at full moon so the total light reflected (again in our direction) is greater. Fun stuff, huh?

you do no longer understand optics or the way the human eye works adequate to make any of your man or woman conclusions. think of roughly this: in case you have been in a vacuum, meaning in spite of exists around you (as in no airborne dirt and mud, air, something), if a beam of light have been shot top in front of your eyes, you may in basic terms see darkness and no gentle. Why is this? properly we don't see gentle, yet somewhat we see what gentle is pondered off of. each products absorbs gentle in a distinctive way, and what we see as quickly as we glance on the object is the wavelengths of light the object does not take up. you spot your eyes are like a digital camera: you have a lens which the gentle ought to pass via and be adjusted via gentle intensity, and the gentle projects a picture at the back of your eye ordinary with the aid of fact the retina. So then how can satellite tv for pc photos take photos of earth? properly the sunlight illuminates the earth, that's why we are in a position to confirm it. The area of the earth dealing with removed from the sunlight isn't as brightly illuminated that's why one area of the earth is dark and the different is lit. The earth is reflecting the gentle to the lens so the digital camera can seize the innovations projected via the gentle. If it have been dark, as interior the sunlight wasnt lit, the digital camera might seize a dismal image. The moon works the comparable way. We see the gentle that the moon's floor does not take up. We see the gentle this is being pondered off of it. In end, we don't see products. We see the gentle that bounces off of the object that's no longer absorbed via the object into our lens to undertaking a picture on our retina. i might incredibly advise interpreting some physics/optics to extra clever understand this thought. in case you don't be responsive to adequate approximately something, do no longer anticipate you recognize it.

Different rocks have different degrees of reflectivity (albedo). If a mission to the crater Aristarchus was ever undertaken, the landscape would be blindingly bright at the height of day

Everything you see reflects light. That's WHY you see them.
