Some minerals will glow in UV light; these minerals are called fluorescent minerals. Some minerals may continue to glow after the UV light is removed; these minerals are called phosphorescent.

∙ 15y agoThere is a form of phosphorus ("white phosphorus") that emits a faint glow when exposed to oxygen because of a chemical reaction taking place on its surface. So, the answer is "yes, phosphorus does glow in the dark" but only certain types of phosphorus, and only if the darkened room its in has oxygen in it. =)

Why does light come from Jupiter?
Jupiter does not produce light. It does, however, reflect a lot of the sunlight that reaches it's surface. The amount of light that a planet's surface reflects is call it's albedo, and it's expressed as a value between 0 (nothing reflected) to 1 (100% of light is reflected). Jupiter has an albedo of 0.34, which may seem small compared to Venus's albedo of 0.9, but since Jupiter has a substantially larger surface area than Venus, what it lacks in reflectiveness it makes up for in size.
