No. Asteroids are just made of rock and metal. They do not glow.
The same way you see a rock on the ground at night ... shine a flashlight on it.That's exactly how we see anything in the solar system ... planets, comets, moons,asteroids, etc. The sun is the 'flashlight'.
Comets are Comets and Asteroids are Asteroids
ANSWER:Luminous could also mean 'full of light or illuminated'. For example: luminous hands of a clock. Here, luminous denotes shiny or that give light. In the example: luminous room; luminous indicates well-lighted. Something that is clear or easy to understand is also termed luminous. Fro example: luminous prose or luminous theory. Luminous could also mean inspiring, intelligent, or enlightened.
Luminous sources of light are objects that emit light due to their own energy, like the sun or a light bulb. Non-luminous sources of light are objects that reflect light from luminous sources without emitting light themselves, like the moon or a mirror.
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").
Non-luminous objects in space include planets, asteroids, comets, moons, and dust clouds. These objects do not emit their own light but instead reflect light from nearby stars or other luminous sources. They can be observed through telescopes or spacecraft.
The Sun is the only luminous body in our solar system. It emits light and heat through nuclear fusion at its core. All other objects in the solar system, such as planets, moons, and asteroids, reflect light from the Sun but do not generate their own light.
It is luminous
A nonluminous body is an object that does not emit light of its own. Instead, it reflects light from other sources, such as the Sun or artificial light sources. Examples of nonluminous bodies include the Moon, planets, and most asteroids.
Luminous.
It's non-luminous
Non-luminous members of the solar system are celestial bodies that do not produce their own light but reflect light from the Sun. This category includes planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets. Unlike stars, which generate light through nuclear fusion, non-luminous objects can be observed primarily through the light they reflect. Examples include Earth, Mars, and the various moons orbiting around these planets.
Mars (and all the other planets and moons in our Solar System) are not luminous as in creating their own light. However, Mars reflects light from the Sun, a (luminous) star, making it look like it is creating its own light.

luminous is correct

luminous means that it gives light
