Comets are made of frozen gases and ice so when they get too close to the sun the gas and ice evaporate. As they orbit around the sun, the comet forms a tail, and the evaporation causes it to burn and give off light. I wouldn't call it "emitting" light though, because I think that to emit light, the object should be creating the light on its own. Comets don't emit light because without the sun they won't burn in the first place.
What else can I help you with?
What type of radiation does a comet emit?
Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.
Which one of the following types of electromagnetic radiation causes certain substances to fluoresce ultraviolet rays infrared waves x rays or cosmic rays?
Exposure to radiation in the ultraviolet region is the most common way of causing fluorescence, but not the only way. Exposure to enough radiation for one electron to absorb two photons can cause fluorescence.
Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
Do both x rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet Rays.
What wavelengths just a little higher than ultraviolet rays are called?
The next name of wavelengths longer than ultraviolet rays is "violet light".
What other forms of radiation may come from stars?
Stars can emit various forms of radiation, including ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Sun-like stars emit primarily visible light and some ultraviolet radiation. More massive stars can also emit X-rays and gamma rays.
What type of light bulb emits UV rays?
Ultraviolet (UV) light bulbs emit UV rays.
What type of radiation does a comet emit?
Like the planets, comets emit no visible light of their own-they shine by reflected (or reemitted) sunlight.
Flashlight emits what type of ray?
A flashlight emits visible light rays, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation that our eyes can detect. It does not emit any other type of ray, such as X-rays or gamma rays.
What animal see ultraviolet rays?
Bees can see ultraviolet rays.
Different types of radiation that stars emit?
Stars emit various types of radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared radiation, and X-rays. Additionally, stars also emit radio waves and gamma rays. The type and amount of radiation emitted by a star depend on its temperature, mass, and stage of evolution.
Which one of the following types of electromagnetic radiation causes certain substances to fluoresce ultraviolet rays infrared waves x rays or cosmic rays?
Exposure to radiation in the ultraviolet region is the most common way of causing fluorescence, but not the only way. Exposure to enough radiation for one electron to absorb two photons can cause fluorescence.
Who discovered ultraviolet rays?
Johann Wilhelm Ritter discovered ultraviolet rays
What do stars emit besides heat and light?
They emit: gamma rays, radio waves, and x-rays. Some stars emit T.V. rays
Are X-rays and Gamma rays higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
What type of rays are not emitted during atomic transition?
X-rays are not emitted during atomic transitions. Instead, atomic transitions typically emit photons in the visible, ultraviolet, or infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Do both x rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet Rays.
