None of the planets are luminous as such. They are made bright by the sun shining on them, but they have no light of their own. We see some of the planets because the sun is shining on them. It is the same way that we are able to see the Moon.

Non-luminous. Objects which produce light of their own or give out or emit their own light are called luminous objects.
