A reflection nebula is a cloud of gas and dust which does not create its own light, but instead shines by reflecting the light from nearby stars. The brightest reflection nebulas are places where new stars are being formed. Here the gas and dust is thick and shines by the light of new, bright stars. Sometimes the gas is so thick that the new stars cannot be seen

If light reflects off an object what determines the color?
When light hits an object, some of the light spectrum is absorbed and some is reflected. The colour you see is the reflected light. The rest is absorbed. For example a red T shirt will absorb all the colours in the light spectrum a nd reflect red. Black absorbes all light and reflects non hence darkness and white is the reflection of the full spectrum. Orange is a blended reflection of Yellow and red.
What is the scientific name for the fear of your reflection?
Spectrophobia (from Latin: spectrum, "ghost") is a kind of specific phobia involving a morbid fear of mirrors and one's own reflections. Catoptrophobia (from the word catoptric meaning using a mirror to focus light; from Greek word katoptrikos ) is the fear of mirrors. This phobia is distinct from Eisoptrophobia, which is the fear of your own reflection.
Your solar system is thought to have formed from a nebula of dust and gas Most of this nebula condensed to form the sun What is primarily responsible for causing these materials to condense?
gravitational pull of nebula materials on each other
What is the bouncing of light off an object?
Reflection
What is a spectrum notation of color?
spectrum
What is the difference between a emission nebula and a reflection nebula?
Emission nebula glow and reflection nebula reflect the light form other stars
A glowing gasous nebula whose light comes from the fluorescence of a nearby star is a?
reflection nebula- An interstellar cloud of gas and dust that shines because light from nearby bright stars is reflected or scattered toward us. The emission component of the spectrum is due to the gas, the reflection component is due to the dust.
What galaxy is the reflection nebula in?
fgmh
What are the different kinds of nebula?
Reflection, Hydrogen, Dark, Planetary, Supernova Remnants, Emission.
Can a spectrum be formed by reflection of white light?
No, but it can be formed by refraction.
What do you call a cloud of dust and gas in space?
A clouds of dust and gas in space is called a nebula. Nebula sometimes turn into stars under the right conditions. There are many different classifications give to nebulas. These include ring, emission, reflection and dark nebulae.
Which of these would be a classic continuous spectrum a rainbow the sunlight a neon light fluorescent light or a glowing nebula?
The answer is Rainbow!...
Why is the suns spectrum and the moon's spectrum the same?
Because the light we see given off by the moon - is actually the reflection of sunlight. Therefore they will have the same spectrum. The moon does not generate its own light.
Is there such thing as purple and what are the cuses?
Purple does exist and it is caused by reflection of that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the difference between a dark reflecting nebula and light relfecting nebula?
A nebula is a region of interstellar gas and dust. Dark nebulae such as the Horsehead Nebula are so dense that they block light from other sources, such as background emission nebulae, reflection nebulae, or other stars. Other types of nebulae do reflect light. Emission nebulae are clouds of ionized gas that allow red, blue, and violet light through. Generally, these nebulae appear reddish. Reflection nebulae are clouds of dust that simply reflect light from nearby stars. The dust particles of reflection nebulae usually only scatter blue light, so the appearance is blue.
The Orion nebula m 42 is a hot thin cloud of glowing gas so its spectrum is?
A few bright lines against a dark background.
