What is the difference between reflection nebulae and emission nebulae?

A nebula is a region of interstellar gas and dust. Emission nebulae are clouds of ionized gas that allow red, blue, and violet light through. Generally, these nebulae appear reddish. Reflection nebulae are clouds of dust that simply reflect light from nearby stars. The dust particles of reflection nebulae usually only scatter blue light, so the appearance is blue. Other types of nebulae don't reflect light. Dark nebulae such as the Horsehead Nebula are so dense that they block light from other sources, such as background emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, or other stars.


What are the clouds of dust and gas where stars are born?

The answer is actually Nebulae.

How are nebulae formed?

Nebula are formed when a star explodes, releasing its gas into a gas cloud (the nebula). the nebula then will eventually condense due to gravity and form another star.

How many kinds of Nebula's are there?

*the correct term is nebulae. a nebulae is a could of many gases and dust, where stars are created. TYPES: Diffuse Nebulae- the most common type. it is interstellar, which means among the stars, and not part of any galaxy. Planetary Nebulae- completely unrelated to planets. planetary nebulae is when gas and plasma are formed after certain types of stars die. it sometimes looks like gas planets, like neptune and uranus, hence the name. Reflection Nebulae- clouds of dust that reflect the light of nearby stars, though they are not nebulae, because they do not create stars. Protoplanetary Nebulae- a point in the lifetime of an astronomical object (star). protoplanetary nebulae, or preplanetary nebulae, emit light, much like reflection nebulae Emission Nebulae- a could of ionized gas which emits colorful lights

Where does the nebula get its gas to form stars?

Most of the nebulae that exist now are formed from the expelled remnants of dead stars. The gas that made up the original nebulae form with the Big Bang.
