Planets that emit their own light are referred to as "self-luminous" or "intrinsically luminous" objects. However, in astronomy, most planets do not produce their own light; instead, they reflect the light of their parent stars. The term "exoplanets" often describes planets outside our solar system, and while they may have some heat or light from internal processes, they primarily shine by reflecting starlight. In contrast, stars are the celestial bodies that generate their own light through nuclear fusion.
