Things that make their own light are called luminous things. Glow worms, fireflies are animals, and the sun is the light source for all of us. The moon doesn't actually produce it's own light, it reflects it off of the sun>

∙ 13y agoWhen lit, yes, it does through the process called combustion. When an exothermic chemical reaction (a reaction that releases energy) is initiated, as when a spark causes O2 and H2 to react, the reaction can sustain itself as long as there is enough fuel, in my example the fuel was air. This constant release of energy continuously excites the surrounding electrons in the air. When these excited electrons fall back into a lower energy state, they must conserve energy by releasing electromagnetic radiation, some of which have energies corresponding to the visible light spectrum.

Is a torchlight a natural source of light?
Torch light is NOT a natural source of light. It is an Artificial Source of light generated by the electrical energy. In this the electrical energy is being transformed into Light energy.

What is a primary pollutant?
Primary polluters are air pollutants that come directly from a source. A volcanic eruption is an example of a primary pollutant.
Why switching off the torch would cause the worms to die faster than when the torch was switch on?
Some bacteria and worms grow faster and lives more due to the sufficient temperature available for their survival. When a torch is lit up, it generates light energy on conversion of electrical energy and it's a fact that heat energy is also produced by a body if it produces light energy. The Heat which is released increases the temperature of the area which led the bacteria to survive more. On switching it off, the chances are reduced as the source of heat has been switched off and slowly the temperature will return to normal. Hence on switching off the torch the survival chances of worms and bacteria is get reduced.
