This could be a real learning experience. What is the difference between a reflection nebula and emission nebula? What are planet nebulae?
Nebulae are clouds of gas and dust in outer space. They are invisible in the night sky. A reflection nebula reflects the light of neighboring stars. An emission nebula is a bright nebula that emits light as a result of ionization of its gas atoms which is a result of ultraviolet radiation.
Lastly, a planet nebula is an expanding shell of thin, ionized gas that is ejected from and surrounds a dying star. Incidentally, the ‘Eye of God’ nebula is a planetary nebula!
