For the same reason that a rock is visible even though the rock is not luminous.
Some source of light, such as a flashlight, illuminates the rock, and some of the
light from the flashlight bounces off of the rock in just the right direction to enter
your eye.
Similarly, in our neighborhood, some source of light, such as a flashlight, illuminates
the moon and the planets, and some of the light from the flashlight bounces off
of the moon and planets in just the right direction to enter our eyes.
The Sun is that source of light.
What else can I help you with?
Why are there no planets on the moon?
Planets do not exist on other bodies, they orbit the sun independent of one another. The planets are easily visible from the moon. In fact they are probably even more easily seen than they are from Earth due to the moon's lack of an atmosphere.
Is the moon a luminous object or do you see it because it is illuminated?
The moon is not a luminous object; it does not generate its own light. The moon is visible to us on Earth because it reflects sunlight. The amount of light reflected depends on the moon's position in its orbit.
Differentiate luminous and non-luminous?
Luminous objects emit their own light, such as the sun or a light bulb, whereas non-luminous objects do not produce light but reflect light from other sources, like the moon or a table. Luminous objects are sources of light, while non-luminous objects only appear visible when light is shone upon them.
Is the moon non-luminous?
You see it in the same way that you see most things most of the time. Your house is not luminous but you see them, you friends are not luminous but you can see them. You see them by reflection of sunlight.
What is a glowing heavenly body?
Moon , stars , planets , anything we can see that emits light .

Are satellites luminous or non-luminous?
Non-luminous. Objects which produce light of their own or give out or emit their own light are called luminous objects. Objects which do not produce light of their own, on the other hand, are called non-luminous objects. Luminous objects are objects like stars, sun and other celestial bodies which give out their own light. Objects surrounding us are not such light emitting objects. Therefore, we are surrounded by non-luminous objects.
10 examples of non-luminous objects?
Earth, bricks, plastic, metals, moon, planets ,mirrors, paper,rubber,pencils

Why moon and the planets consider as non luminous?
Because they don't emit their own light. They simply reflect the light from the sun.
What is a non-liminous body?
A body which is not liminous, of course. Now, you just have to figure our what "liminous" is. I suggest the OED, Earth's nearest equivalent to the Maximegalon Dictionary, as it's certainly not a common word (except as a misspelling for "luminous").
When the sun is out why is the moon an the stars stilll out?
Stars and Moon are always there; only that sometimes, in the daytime, they are outshone by the Sun. However, the Moon, and some of the brighter planets (especially Venus), are visible even at noon (if you know exactly where to look).

What two planets are next to the moon right now?
The planets visible near the moon can vary depending on the time and location. However, some common planets that are frequently seen near the moon are Venus and Mars. Check a stargazing app for real-time information on which planets are currently next to the moon from your location.
Are the stars and moon luminous?
Stars are luminous, shine by themseves. Moon isn't, it can only reflect light.
