What galactic formation is made of irregular masses of particles and gases and plasmas that reflect light from nearby stars?
nebulae
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.

A nebula is a region of interstellar gas and dust. 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. Other types of nebulae do reflect light. 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.
Are planetary nebulae sites for planet formation?
No, they are ionized gases thrown off stars near the end of their fusion cycles. They are expanding clouds of matter, quite different from the nebulae in which stars form.
What objects in space emit or reflect light?
sun, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and meteors

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
Are all nebulae luminous?
Technically, no nebulae are luminous. The ones that appear as such have stars either within or near them, and the nebulae merely reflect the light emitted by these stars.
How do you think the formation of the new stars is related to supernovas and planetary nebulae?
i don't konw?

No, they are ionized gases thrown off stars near the end of their fusion cycles. They are expanding clouds of matter, quite different from the nebulae in which stars form.
How many stars form from nebulae?
it depends on how large the nebulae is. The largest of nebulae (in both distance and height) form the largest number of stars while the smallest of nebulae (in both distance and height) form the least number of stars. Therefore there is no fixed number for the number of stars that can be formed from a single nebulae (a variable amount of stars can be formed from one nebulae)
