Planets and comets shine because of reflected light because they do not produce their own light.

So stars shine because they produce their own light and not because they reflect light.

What happens when you shine a light ray into a light prisim?
When the light ray strikes the surface of the prism, both when it enters and when it leaves, it bends owing to the different in the speeds of light in air and the material of which the prism is made. The amount of bending depends in part on the frequency of the light which is related to the colour of the light, hence the appearance of a colour spectrum which can be seen from a triangular prism.

It's refracted, just as visible light is, *given* that the prism is transparent to UV. Since the angle of refraction increases with decreasing wavelength, expect UV to be refracted to a greater degree than visiblelight.
Where do you buy a rainbow?
1. Go purchase a small triangular prism from a store specialising in child science toys and experiments. 2. Shine the prism in the light and it will bend the light, separating the spectrum into the 7 colours of the rainbow, red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet. 3. There's your rainbow.
