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!
Stars are made up of material similar to a nuclear reactor. They provide their own heat and light source. Our sun is a star but not the only star in the universe. Each star generates it's own power until it dies.

Do planets stars and comets shine as a result of reflected light?
No, planets, stars, and comets shine due to their own sources of light. Stars produce light through nuclear fusion in their cores. Planets and comets can also reflect light from the Sun, but they do not emit their own light.
Does a nebula have no light of its own?
That's correct, a nebula does not produce its own light. Instead, it reflects or emits light from nearby stars or from processes happening within the nebula itself.
Do moons comets and stars shine as a result of reflected light?
Moons and comets appear to shine because of the light they reflect. Stars produce their own light.
Do stars emit light or reflect?
Stars generate and radiate their own light. This is pretty obvious when you think about the star that's closest to us ... the sun.
How many stars Saturn has?
Saturn does not have any stars. It is a planet within our solar system and does not produce its own light like stars do.
Does the sun give the stars light?
No, the sun is a star that gives off its own light. Stars in the night sky produce their own light and do not rely on the sun for their brightness.
Do stars and planets both make their own light?
No. The stars make their own light, but the planets only relect light from the sun.
Why stars are light sources?
It have its own light
Why are stars a light source?
It have its own light
Do stars reflect light from moon or sun?
Stars do not reflect light from the Moon or the Sun. Stars emit their own light due to nuclear fusion reactions happening in their cores. The light we see from stars is the result of this emission, not reflection.
How do planets and stars send light to us?
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.
Do stars generate their own light?
Yes
Do stars make their own light?
Yes, they do.
Do we see stars in the sky because they reflect the sun's light?
No. The stars are distant suns that emit their own light.
Which object in the universe can make its own light energy?
nebula
Do planets stars and comets shine as a result of reflected light?
