One might safely say that a turnip is neither luminous nor a planet - but given the astronomical context, it's a safe inference that the subject of interest would be celestial bodies. Some stellar remnants would qualify, one in particular being a black dwarf - which is basically a white dwarf that has cooled down through the brown dwarf phase to a point where it no longer emits radiation (per current calculations, the time taken for this to happen is very long indeed). Other candidates might be a neutron star, or a black hole - in both cases presuming luminosity excludes nearby effects such as highly energetic accretion disks or relativistic polar jets such as are found at active galactic nuclei or quasars (ironically, among the most luminous regions known). Other solar system objects which would qualify would include objects too small to be planets such as asteroids, or others that don't fit the planet definition (such as moons). Although most of these objects could reflect light, strictly speaking, they are not usually themselves luminous.

Why must the size of the test flame be kept very small?
The flame test is made in nonluminous flames which are not high flames.
Is a mirror non-luminous and why?
Yes, a mirror is nonluminous. It does not emit light by itself, it only reflects light emitted by other things.
What is luminouse and non-luminouse?
i think luminous means when something gives off light and non-luminous means when something does not give off light.

Which planet has largest natural planet?
There is no planet which has a natural planet.
Which planet is an outer planet but is more like an inner planet?
The planet that was an outer planet, but was more like an inner planet was Pluto because of its size. The planet Pluto is no longer considered to be a planet.
