No. The light we see from comets is reflected sunlight. Comets are composed of ice and dust, and do not give off any radiation, visible or otherwise. Because of their high ice content, and the water vapor they trail as they travel toward the sun, they are highly reflective.
comets.
The moon will not die out. The asteroids and comets are the same. A comet (asteroid) are rocks from space.When it gets to close to the Earth it gets pulled by gravity and it causes this space rock to catch on fire.
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.
Icy objects that light up the night sky include comets and meteors. Comets are made of ice, dust, and rocks, and produce a glowing tail of gas and dust when they approach the sun. Meteors are pieces of rock or metal that enter Earth's atmosphere, creating a bright streak of light as they burn up due to friction.
Non-luminous objects in space include planets, asteroids, comets, moons, and dust clouds. These objects do not emit their own light but instead reflect light from nearby stars or other luminous sources. They can be observed through telescopes or spacecraft.
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own 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.
no Bkuz comets arnt used as mirrors. Ignore that. Yes, comets shine due to reflected light because they do not produce their own light, much as our moon reflects light from the sun causing it to shine in the sky.
since the comet is made of ice, when it gets nearer to the sun it melts down because of the heat of the sun
No. Neither do any of their moons, and neither do any comets or asteroids.
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.
by its light
No. Stars generate their own light, and are far more massive than any comet. Comets don't shine at all; they merely reflect the light of the Sun. From our perspective here on Earth, some comets appear to be brighter than stars, but only because the comets are here in THIS solar system, relatively nearby, while stars are many light-years away.
comets.
Comets shine due to the reflection of sunlight off their icy nucleus and dust particles surrounding it. When a comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the nucleus to melt and release gas and dust, forming a glowing coma and tail visible from Earth.
Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.
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.
