Definition of luminous and non-luminous sources of light?

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.


How can a non luminous body be made luminous Give an example?

Luminous objects create light .A non luminous object does not give off light.For instance, my feet are not luminous.Our sun and the rest of the stars in the universe are luminousNon-luminous objects are the ones who doesn't have its own light like you can say moon,trees, branches,plants, metals mirrors bricks etc.

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.


Which is a non-luminous object and not a planet?

a non-luminous object is something that doesn't give out light, it reflects light from an other source like the moon.

Why is it incorrect to describe the moon is Luminous?

Why is it incorrect to describe the moon as luminous?

The Moon is NOT "luminous"; it does not shine with its own light. The light we see coming from the Moon is reflected sunlight.On a related note, astronauts on the Moon have always landed during the lunar "day", which lasts for 14 days. But because the dark areas of the near side of the Moon are at the "full Earth", it will probably never be entirely dark. As the Earth is so much larger than the Moon, the reflected earthshine will be 5 to 10 times brighter than moonlight. Astronauts will probably have no trouble working by earthlight.For A+ the answer is The moon does not produce light.By definition, "luminous" means "giving off light". The moon has no light of it's own. It shines by reflected sunlight.

Differentiate luminous and non-luminous?

Luminous objects emit their own light, such as the sun or a light bulb, whereas non-luminous objects do not produce light but reflect light from other sources, like the moon or a table. Luminous objects are sources of light, while non-luminous objects only appear visible when light is shone upon them.


Is the earth luminous or non-luminous?

The Earth is non-luminous, meaning it does not produce its own light. The light we see on Earth comes from sources such as the Sun, the Moon, and artificial lighting.
