The shininess or dullness of an object is determined by how well it reflects light. Shiny objects have a smooth surface that reflects light uniformly, whereas dull objects have a rough surface that scatters light in different directions, appearing less reflective. Materials like metal tend to be shiny, whereas surfaces like fabric or paper tend to be dull.
