Atoms emit energy as light when electrons move to a lower energy level
Atoms emit light energy for several reasons: Atoms emit visible light most often when an electron moves from an excited state to a less excited state. Atoms accelerating at high rates can emit bremsstrahlung, or breaking radiation. Finally, atomic nuclei in an excited state can decay to less excited states, emitting light energy. This energy usually not visible though, in the X or gamma ray spectrum.
In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels. When they fall back, they emit light.In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels.

The motion of the electrons in the filament creates HEAT. The heat will excite the atoms of the filament until they emit Photons due to the jumping of electrons to higher energy shells.
Fluorescent lights use electric current to excite mercury atoms, which emit UV light. The tube part of the light is covered in phosphorescent material, which is excited by the UV light the mercury produces, and emits visible light. The reason they glow is because it takes a while for an excited mercury atom to emit the UV light, and it takes even longer for the excited phosphorescent molecules to emit all of their excess energy and return to their normal energy levels, also called the ground state. The path of the energy is Electricity -> UV light-> Visible light-> your eye
That varies, depending on the technology. In an incandescent light bulb, a wire is heated when electricity passes through it, until it glows. In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms in a gas get into an excited state, and emit light when the electrons fall back to their normal energy level.

radioactive
yes, they do emit
When they exit their exited state. When an atom is bombarded by photons, it will often times absorb the photon. A photon is a unit of energy, so this energy is added to the atom, "extiting" it. However, atoms may only remain in ths excited state for a short period of time, and will eventually release the photon, reemiting it as light, and then the atom will return to its normal state.
Yes because it only have light in common?

No. Planets do not emit light; they can only reflect light from the Sun.

Yes. That is why they are called traffic lights.
Because they each have their own level of energy. Green light has more energy than red light.
protons move to a higher energy level protons move to a lower energy level electrons move to a higher energy level electrons move to a lower energy level
