Since I've been laughed at here for saying that scientists claim that the light from the stars is reflected light, then what provides the light from Mars? Scientists have already explored it and found it is not powered by hydrogen as they have claimed. So again, where does the light from Mars come from?

Science does not say that the light from stars is reflected light. Stars, of which the sun is one, create their own light. The light from Mars is reflected. Compare the light from Mars with that from Venus. You will never see a fully illuminated Venus from Earth because it is between the earth and the sun. Since Mars is further away from the sun than Earth, we get a fully illuminated disk.
The light from Mars is reflected sunlight. The light from stars is produced by the stars themselves. Mars is never more than about 250 million miles away, and less than 150 million miles from the sun. The nearest visible star is about 100,000 times further away than that.
Mars is a planet, not a star. Planets shine by reflected light; stars shine by emitting their own light ("powered by hydrogen," as you put it, at least most of the time).
The ignorance of people never ceases to amaze me. Just the other day I had to explain to an adult why the sky is blue, who then said my explanation was a good analogy.
Nah, nobody said Mars was hydrogen powered, that would just be silly - they hadn't invented hydrogen fuel cells when they built it, so obviously it runs on clockwork and steam.
Carico,Since I've been laughed at here for saying that scientists claim that the light from the stars is reflected light,
Because no scientist hs ever made such a claim
then what provides the light from Mars?
The sun of course
Scientists have already explored it and found it is not powered by hydrogen as they have claimed.
When has any scientist ever made such a claim?
So again, where does the light from Mars come from?"
And again, THE SUN.
No dipshit. The light from stars is generated by nuclear fusion. The light that comes from Mars is the same light that comes fro the moon, it's reflected off the surface of the planet. God, this is basic astronomy, how can anyone be this stupid?
Mars isn't a star, you fucking idiot. It's a planet. Sunlight's reflected off planets. Stars generate their own light.
If a scientist would say that, he or she knows nothing about astronomy.

Carico got an F in Sandbox 101, though was a gourmand library paste taster.

PROTIP: The film "Total Recall" is not a documentary.
Besides, the ancient Martian terbinium reactor in Mons Olympus only creates a breathable atmosphere.
Still, should NASA (or China's CNSA) look for a volunteer for their future manned mission to that planet, I say you should go - to research your theory yourself, no less.
