Emission and reflection nebulae differ primarily in their interactions with light.

  • Emission Nebulae: These nebulae emit their own light due to ionized gases, primarily from the presence of young, hot stars that excite the surrounding gas.

  • Reflection Nebulae: These do not emit their own light but reflect light from nearby stars.

So the primary difference highlighted here is interactions with light.
