Nebulas do not absorb light in the same way that solid objects do. Instead, they scatter and reflect light from nearby stars and emit their own light through ionized gases and dust particles. This creates the beautiful and colorful appearance we see in images of nebulas.
There are primarily five types of nebulas: planetary nebulas, reflection nebulas, emission nebulas, dark nebulas, and supernova remnants. Each type of nebula has distinct characteristics and origins.
Nebulas are interstellar clouds consisting of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. Nebulas vary in size, so some are bigger than Earth, and others are not.
Cities can be seen from space.
Yes, nebulas are typically much larger in size than planets. Nebulas are massive clouds of gas and dust in space, while planets are solid celestial objects that orbit stars. Nebulas can span hundreds of light-years in size, while planets are generally much smaller in comparison.
No, all-stars are not formed by nebulas. All-stars are formed from clouds of gas and dust called molecular clouds, which collapse under their own gravity to form a star. Nebulas are massive clouds of dust and gas in space, where stars are born.
"although some nebulas glow or reflect starlight, others absorb light and so are too dark to see."
The glowing clouds that you see in pictures from space are called emission nebulas. A emission nebula is a cloud of hot, glowing cloud of gas and dust in space. These nebulas absorb the light of nearby stars and reach very high temperatures. The high temperature causes them to glow. Emission nebulas are often found in regions of space where new stars are forming.
No, they reflect the light from surrounding stars.

The dark clouds in space are called absorption nebulas or dark nebulas. An absorption nebula is a cloud of gas and dust which blocks light from the regions of space behind it. As light from space reaches an absorption nebula it is absorbed by it and does not pass through. Absorption nebulas do not create their own light. It is hard to find an absorption nebula unless it is silhouetted against much brighter region of space.
Light does not absorb things. Light can be absorbed by things.

Materials that absorb light typically contain pigments or dyes that are able to absorb certain wavelengths of light. When light hits these materials, the pigments or dyes absorb the light energy, causing the material to appear darker or change color. This absorption of light energy is what allows these materials to absorb light.
Red and blue light will not absorb the same light. Red objects reflect red light and absorb other colors, while blue objects reflect blue light and absorb other colors.
