The Sun is visible because it generates its own light, which radiates out into space.
The Moon isn't luminous; it doesn't create its own light. But the Sun is SO bright, and the Moon is so close to Earth, that the sunlight hitting the Moon and bouncing off provides plenty of light. This is true even though the Moon has an albedo, a reflectivity, of about 4% - it's as dark as a charcoal briquette.
Which makes me wonder about all the vampire movies; if sunlight kills vampires and moonlight is just reflected sunlight, why do we still have stupid vampire movies?

What are non-illuminous?
Non-luminous objects are those that do not emit light on their own and rely on reflected light to be visible. Examples include rocks, furniture, and plants.
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.
What is a non-liminous body?
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").
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.
Is the moon a luminous object or do you see it because it is illuminated?
The moon is not a luminous object; it does not generate its own light. The moon is visible to us on Earth because it reflects sunlight. The amount of light reflected depends on the moon's position in its orbit.
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.
Are the stars and moon luminous?
Stars are luminous, shine by themseves. Moon isn't, it can only reflect light.
Why is the moon non-luminous even though it gives off light?
The Moon does not produce light of its own. It only reflects some of the light from the Sun.
Why is the moon still visible during the day?
The moon is still visible during the day because of its position in relation to the Earth and the Sun. The moon reflects sunlight, making it visible even when the sun is also in the sky.
How do you get moonlight when the moon is a non luminous object?
as we know moon reflects the sun light and moon is a non luminous object we can see the reflection of the sun's light
What are non-illuminous?
Non-luminous objects are those that do not emit light on their own and rely on reflected light to be visible. Examples include rocks, furniture, and plants.
What is an example sentence to the word luminous?
We could see the deep craters on the luminous moon.
Is a different of the moon surface visible at each full moon?
Nope! We always see the same side of the moon, even if it is a full moon.
If the sun is luminous what are the earth and moon?
Earth and Moon are Non-Luminous, and a bit reflective. Moon light is sun light that has bounced back from the moon.
Is gold non luminous object?
sun (a luminous object) emits its own light and the moon ( a non luminous object ) reflects the light from the sun to earth that's how we can see the moon. The same way gold is a non luminous object.
A full moon is more luminous than a half moon.?
yes
