Do stars shine because of reflected light?
No, Stars generate light and heat through nuclear fusion. The moon reflects light
Does the moon generate heat for the earth?
the moon does not have its own energy to produce light that also produces heat therefore does not generate heat for earth and the sun generates heat for the earth.
Source of heat and light energy produced by stars?
Nuclear fusion
How do the sun and the other stars generate their energy?
The Sun and other stars generate tremendous amounts of energy, resulting in their characteristic heat and light, from fusion processes which occur in the star's core. The most common is the fusion of hydrogen into helium, although other fusion processes also take place depending on things like the age and mass of the star. If you calculate the amount of mass converted into energy in the fusion of hydrogen into helium - about 0.7% of the mass - and multiply that by the square of the speed of light (per Einstein's famous formula, E=mc^2) that's a lot of energy!
Does the moon have light and heat?
Yes and No. It reflects light from the sun, but emitts none of its own. It does not generate heat.
Why all-stars have light?
Stars undergo nuclear fusion in their cores, and so generate energy; i.e., light and heat. No nuclear fusion, no energy generation, ergo not a star at all. Generating light and heat is how we can tell a very large planet from a star. If it isn't generating energy from nuclear fusion, then it isn't a star.
Do stars shine because of reflected light?
No, Stars generate light and heat through nuclear fusion. The moon reflects light
How do we generate thermal energy?
Thermal energy is simply heat. Light a fire.
Does moving charges generate electrical energy which changes into sound light and heat energy?
yes
Does the moon generate heat for the earth?
the moon does not have its own energy to produce light that also produces heat therefore does not generate heat for earth and the sun generates heat for the earth.
Is it true that light energy can also generate heat energy?
Yes. That's why you get warm when you sit in the sunlight.
Source of heat and light energy produced by stars?
Nuclear fusion
What is the noun in this sentence Stars create light and heat?
Stars, light, heat
What kind of energy is given of by stars?
heat, light, and many other types.
How does heat generate light?
Heat is the amount of energy a single atom has, and this energy causes the electrons in an atom to change energy levels. The light is produced when an "excited" electron has gained enough energy to raise to a higher level via heat, and then falls back to a lower energy level, releasing the energy as light. The higher the amount of energy put into an atom via heat, the more intense the light will be due to a higher release of energy.

How and can you gather energy just by a light bulbs heat and light?
theoretically you could use the heat from the bulb to drive a thermodynamic cycle. The energy you would be able to generate would be so low, it wouldn't be worth it.
