Comets are made of frozen gases and ice so when they get too close to the sun the gas and ice evaporate. As they orbit around the sun, the comet forms a tail, and the evaporation causes it to burn and give off light. I wouldn't call it "emitting" light though, because I think that to emit light, the object should be creating the light on its own. Comets don't emit light because without the sun they won't burn in the first place.
