Question

1. the sky on earth is blue because blue light is scattered through the atmosphere as the other colors of light pass through undisturbed. which nebulae have a similar effect? a. emission nebulae b. dark nebulae c. reflection nebulae d. planetary nebulae

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each nebula type:

• Emission nebulae emit light, not scatter.
• Dark nebulae block light, no scattering.
• Reflection nebulae scatter light (like Earth’s atmosphere scatters blue light), reflecting starlight (similar to blue light scattering in air).
• Planetary nebulae are emission - like, not scattering - focused.

So reflection nebulae match the scattering effect.

Answer:

C. Reflection nebulae
