Does a firework give its own light?

Yes, a firework produces its own light through a chemical reaction inside the firework's shell. The explosion of the firework ignites various compounds that create colorful light displays in the sky.


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.


Why does the moon depend on the sun to shine?

The moon does not produce its own light; it reflects sunlight to shine. The sun's light illuminates the moon, making it visible to us on Earth. Without the sun's light, the moon would appear dark and invisible.

What is the name for planets that give out their own light?

Planets that emit their own light are referred to as "self-luminous" or "intrinsically luminous" objects. However, in astronomy, most planets do not produce their own light; instead, they reflect the light of their parent stars. The term "exoplanets" often describes planets outside our solar system, and while they may have some heat or light from internal processes, they primarily shine by reflecting starlight. In contrast, stars are the celestial bodies that generate their own light through nuclear fusion.
