No. The light you see from a comet is reflected sunlight.

Do comets emit ultraviolet rays?

Comets are made of frozen gases and ice so when they get too close to the sun the gas and ice evaporate. As they orbit around the sun, the comet forms a tail, and the evaporation causes it to burn and give off light. I wouldn't call it "emitting" light though, because I think that to emit light, the object should be creating the light on its own. Comets don't emit light because without the sun they won't burn in the first place.


What type of radiation does a comet emit?

Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.


Which of these objects reflect light and which emit light Comets Asteroids Planets Sun Meteors Stars?

Objects that reflect light include planets, asteroids, and comets. The Sun emits light as it is a star. Meteors are visible as they burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, reflecting some light. Stars emit their own light through fusion reactions.


Which objects in the sky emit light please include more than 5?

the stars, the sun, comets, meteors, asteroids


What objects in space emit or reflect light?

Stars, planets, moons, comets, and asteroids emit or reflect light in space. Stars produce their own light through nuclear fusion, while planets and moons reflect light from the Sun. Comets and asteroids can also reflect sunlight, making them visible in the night sky.


Do planets stars and comets shine as a result of reflected light?

Planets and comets shine because of reflected light because they do not produce their own light. Stars are enormous balls of gas that are undergoing fusion which releases a very large amount of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light. So stars shine because they produce their own light and not because they reflect light.


Why do planets and moons seem to appear shiny?

They reflect light from the sun back to observers on earth, unlike the stars, which emit their own light. Everything in our solar system is `lit up` by our sun, which emits light. The planets and moons (along with comets and other objects) don't emit light themselves, but are illuminated by the sun.

Does every light source emit only one type of light, or can some light sources emit multiple types of light?

Some light sources can emit multiple types of light, such as white light sources that emit a combination of different colors.
