Emission nebulae are nebulae that are lit from within. They are made up of ionized gases that emit light of various colors depending on the elements present in the nebula. The light comes from the recombination of electrons with protons in the ionized gas.
Reflection nebulae are illuminated by nearby stars, as they reflect the starlight off of their surrounding gas and dust. The dust in reflection nebulae scatters shorter blue wavelengths of light, giving them a blue appearance.

There are mainly four types of nebulae: emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, dark nebulae, and planetary nebulae. Emission nebulae glow due to the energy emitted by nearby stars, reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars, dark nebulae are dense clouds that block light, and planetary nebulae are the remnants of dying stars. Each type of nebula differs in its composition, appearance, and the processes that create them.
There are several types of nebulae found in outer space, including emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, dark nebulae, and planetary nebulae. Emission nebulae are clouds of ionized gas that emit light, reflection nebulae reflect light from nearby stars, dark nebulae are dense clouds that block light, and planetary nebulae are the remnants of dying stars.

*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
Nebulae are not stars. They are clouds of dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases in space where stars are born. Some nebulae can be observed because of the light of nearby stars reflecting off their gas and dust.
In astronomy, diffuse nebulae is the general term for illuminated nebulae. The three types of diffuse nebulae are reflection nebulae, emission nebulae and supernova remnants. They are diffuse as opposed to the non-diffuse dark nebulae, i.e. the particles have spread out.
Becuase nebulae tell us how stars get formed so the composition, density and size of a nebulae cloud says a lot about its age, likelihood of stars forming and the type of stars that might form.
It depends on the type of bulb.
Nebulae have different colors because of the type of gases they contain and the way they interact with surrounding light. Hotter gases tend to emit blue and ultraviolet light, while cooler gases emit red and infrared light. Dust particles can also scatter light, creating different hues in a nebula.
