This is a difficult question to answer directly, as it is nonspecific.
Light is the release of energy in the form of photons.
Stars are speculated to be large masses of burning hydrogen gas, which release huge amounts of photons.
In nature, creatures such as jellyfish and fireflies utilize bio-luminescence to emit photons.
Objects that give off their own light are called luminous or phosphorescent.
Any sun-like star emits its own light. The Moon, and similar planets, simply reflect the light from the Sun.
A luminous object can reflect light off other light sources. But it can also produce its own light.
The moon is illuminated by the sun. It is not luminous, since it emits no light of its own, only reflected light.
No. It shines because it is reflecting light from the sun.
make their own light. what would make light then? the sun gives off light and it's a star.
The sun is capable of producing its own light.
sun (a luminous object) emits its own light and the moon ( a non luminous object ) reflects the light from the sun to earth that's how we can see the moon. The same way gold is a non luminous object.

They aren't. Stars and moons are two different types of object. A moon is an object that orbits a planet or similar object. A star is a far more massive object that emits its own light.
Each molecule vibrates at a characteristic frequency and emits light of a specific frequency.
a star emits its own light. the moon just reflects, it like the planets, it has no light of its own
Well, if the body emits its own light then it first has to make it. So when the light is made not all of the energy put in will become light therefore the energy created will become light, heat and sound (like a light bulb) and so the amount of energy that is wasted on heat and sound will affect the amount of light produced in the long run. Hope this helps
