Is light affected by earths electromagnetic field?
Earth does not emit light because if it did we would be a star, comit, or our own sun, and we would be made of hydrogen and helium like other stars and comits. i am no expert but my studies show the previous information. +++ You are right that only stars can emit light, but a comet (not "comit") is just like an asteroid or planet in being visible only because it reflects the light from the star it orbits.

How are X-Ray waves used in the study of stars?
Stars emit all kinds of radiation including light waves, cosmic rays, gamma rays, and X-rays. When we look at stars, we can only see the light waves. But using cameras that can 'see' the other wavelengths, particularly X-rays, then convert them to light waves that we CAN see, we notice a lot of things that simply do not show up by looking at the stars' light waves.
Does the moon emit or reflect?
The Moon only reflects light from the Sun.
