yes. the shooting star emits lots of light

*************

A shooting star (meteor) is dust or very small bits of rock that enter the earth's atmosphere at a very high speed. The friction of the air heats the shooting star so hot that in incandesces (glows)- so yes, it does give off it's own light.

Do stars get their light from the sun?

No. Every star you see produces its own light, just as the sun does. Which isn't surprising when you recall that the sun is a star.


Does a star reflect or emit light?

A star emits light through the process of nuclear fusion in its core. This light then travels through space and can be observed from far distances. Some of this light may also get reflected off planets or other objects in space.


Does a meteorite reflect light or emit light?

A meteorite reflects light like any other object; it does not emit light on its own. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and becomes a meteor, it can emit light due to friction with the air, creating a glowing trail known as a meteor or shooting star.

Is there a such thing as a purple star that is seen as a star on earth but a moon on mars?

No, stars are distant celestial objects that emit their own light, while moons are natural celestial objects that orbit planets. A star cannot transform into a moon based on the observer's location. A purple star does not exist in reality, as stars emit light in a range of colors based on their temperature.


What are large balls of gas that create and emit their own radiation?

Large balls of gas that create and emit their own radiation are called stars. They produce energy through nuclear fusion in their cores, which generates heat and light. The Sun is an example of a star.

What is the difference between stars and shooting stars?

First off, shooting stars aren`t actually stars. They`re actually pieces of space rock called meteors. When meteors enter Earth`s atmosphere, they burn up, producing bright lights as they move through the sky. That is, if it`s night. If it`s day, then you can`t see them light up. Meteors are so fast that people say they`re faster than a speeding bullet, hence the name ''shooting'' star.
