Just like in the sun, the cores of stars fuse hydrogen into helium, emitting enormous amounts of energy in the process. A fair portion of that is emitted as visible light.

How many sources are there of light?
Trillions or more. Not to mention all the lights on our small planet, the universe contains billions of stars, and they're all emitting light.
What radiation emitting from stars to earth?
All forms of electro-magnetic ... the full spectrum from UV to visible light to infrared. Pulsars emit x-rays
What process cause stars to give off heat and light?
what causes stars to give off heat and light is when the poporazzi abushes them and they get really mad...that would be the heat. and the flashes form the cameras would be the light
Are stars reflected light?
No. Stars emit light.
Does the sun give the stars light?
No, the sun gives light to the moon, but not the stars. the stars give their own light.
What is a orphiuroidea?
The ophiuroidea is a group of echinoderms that include the brittle stars and basket stars. Over 60 species of this group are known to be bioluminescent or light emitting organisms.
How many sources are there of light?
Trillions or more. Not to mention all the lights on our small planet, the universe contains billions of stars, and they're all emitting light.
If the sun is the only light emitting object in this solar system then why can many stars be seen at night aside from neighboring planets?
Because other stars aren't in our solar system.
Why do stars light up the sky?
Stars generate light by nuclear fusion. That happens in their cores, but the outer layers glow with it.
Are all-stars light sources?
Yes , cause it has it's own light
What radiation emitting from stars to earth?
All forms of electro-magnetic ... the full spectrum from UV to visible light to infrared. Pulsars emit x-rays
What traits or characteristics do scientist use to classify stars?
Large balls of gas emitting energy in the form of light. I apologize I'm not good at science, but this is just a guess.
What process do stars use to shine?
in stars neuclear fussion happens,from which photons are generated which emit light and heat,thats why stars shine.
What helps the stars glow?
The fusion occurring in the stars cause large amount of light, heat, and radiation causing the stars luminosity.
How long do the stars twinkle?
Stars will appear to twinkle for as long as Earth has an atmosphere, because it's the atmosphere that causes the effect. From space, they're a steady light. This is why we have the Hubble telescope in orbit. Less atmospheric inteference = more accurate images. The stars themselves will stop emitting light when they run out of fuel to burn. That will in most cases be several billion years.
Why do billions of stars appear as big patches of the light in the night sky?
That happens when the individual stars are too faint, and too close together, to be seen as individual stars.
How do brittle sea stars move?
sea stars move through the water by emitting a fluid from the hole on their underside; it propels them through the water
