yes. the shooting star emits lots of light
*************
A shooting star (meteor) is dust or very small bits of rock that enter the earth's atmosphere at a very high speed. The friction of the air heats the shooting star so hot that in incandesces (glows)- so yes, it does give off it's own light.

Do stars emit light or reflect?
Stars generate and radiate their own light. This is pretty obvious when you think about the star that's closest to us ... the sun.
Is light affected by earths electromagnetic field?
Earth does not emit light because if it did we would be a star, comit, or our own sun, and we would be made of hydrogen and helium like other stars and comits. i am no expert but my studies show the previous information. +++ You are right that only stars can emit light, but a comet (not "comit") is just like an asteroid or planet in being visible only because it reflects the light from the star it orbits.
What type of radiation does a comet emit?
Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.
Why does the moon depend on light from the sun?
It does not emit any light of its own, so in order to see it we need sunlight.
Planets do not light energy of their own?
Generally true, planets don't emit their own light, but are visible largely because of reflected light, the illumination provided by their star, in the case of our solar system, by the Sun. Some planets might produce trivial amounts of light by other means, for example from lightning, volcanism, mineral fluorescence, etc.
Does a star reflect or emit light?
make their own light. what would make light then? the sun gives off light and it's a star.
Do stars get their light from the sun?
No. Every star you see produces its own light, just as the sun does. Which isn't surprising when you recall that the sun is a star.
What objects do not emit light on their own?
planets, moon,etc do not emit light on their own.

Do stars reflect light from moon or sun?
No. Stars emit their own light.

Does Jupiter emit its own light?
No. Like the other planets it only reflects light from the sun.
Why can you see the moon even though it does not emit its own light?
The moon reflects light from the sun
Does the moon have own light?
the light from the moon is a reflection of the light from the sun
Why does venus have an apparent magnitude greater than a star?
Although it does not emit its own light like a star, the planet Venus is very close to Earth compared to the stars. This means that the light reflected off its surface from the sun makes it brighter than the distant stars.
Is moon self light?
The moon does not emit it's own light. It reflects light from the sun down to the Earth.
How do planets and stars send light to us?
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.
