The sun and stars are light sources bacause of the energy they produce. The energy comes from a special process called nuclear fusion. This happens when two like-charged (either two negative or two positive) hydrogen atoms fuse together, and they change forms. This releases helium atoms, a neutron, and energy. The name 'Nuclear Fusion" comes from the words Nuclei and Fusion. Nuclei is like the brain of the cell. Atoms are cells, and they are actually made up of many cells. The root word of Fusion is fuse. Fuse means to bring together, or become one. Hope this helps!

Do planets stars and comets shine as a result of reflected light?

Planets and comets shine because of reflected light because they do not produce their own light. Stars are enormous balls of gas that are undergoing fusion which releases a very large amount of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum which includes visible light. So stars shine because they produce their own light and not because they reflect light.
