First of all, a luminous object is something that produces its own light. The moon does not produce its own light. The Sun radiates light which is reflected to the earth by the moon. This is why it looks bright; the moon is only a whitish ball of rock.

An example of a luminous object is the Sun.
Because the sun is shining on it.

Just like all of the objects in a dark room, you can't see them unless you shine a

flashlight on them. The flashlight that makes it possible for us to see anything in

the solar system is the sun.

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.


Is Halley's comet luminous?

Halley's Comet is not inherently luminous; it reflects sunlight due to its icy and dusty nucleus. When it approaches the Sun, the heat causes the comet's ices to sublimate, releasing gas and dust that form a bright coma and tail, making it visible from Earth. This brightness can vary significantly depending on its distance from the Sun and Earth, but during its perihelion, it can become quite luminous, appearing as a bright object in the night sky.

Luminous objects give off light whereas illuminated objects relfect light, and thus appear to produce light. For example: A lightbulb is luminous because it gives off light whereas the moon is illuminated because it reflects the light of the sun.A luminous object shines with its own light; it produces its own light, like the sun. An illuminated object is lit by some outside source, like a light bulb or something lit up because your car's headlights fall on it at night, such as your garage door.
