Phosphorus glows very faintly because it is oxidizing. It is a natural example of chemiluminescence. Radioluminescence is the term applied to the manner in which natural radium generates light. Its radioactive decay results in ionizing radiation that ionizes the air, and we can see the light resulting from that activity. Some links are provided.
