It's often possible to see non-luminous objects if you illuminate them with a source
of light, such as a flashlight, a candle, or a drop of golden sunshine.
No object absorbs all of the light that falls on it, so some light is always reflected
from it, and some of that reflected light finds its way to your eye.
Once any of the light falling on the object has reflected from it, it's very much
as if the object were self-luminous.
No, a flashlight is considered luminous because it generates its own light by converting battery power into light energy. Nonluminous objects do not produce their own light and rely on external light sources for illumination.
A flashlight can be luminous when turned on, emitting light from the bulb. It can be nonluminous when turned off because at that point it is not emitting any light.
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.
Seeing through objects like walls or clothing requires advanced technology such as x-ray machines or thermal imaging. It's not possible to naturally see through solid objects with the naked eye due to the way light interacts with matter.
Yes, light bulbs themselves are considered nonluminous because they do not produce light on their own. They require electricity to pass through a filament, which then emits light, making the bulb appear luminous.

It isn't possible

It is very possible. It is actually one of the brightest objects in the night sky.

Yes, that is often possible. Preferably go to an area without streetlights and watch the sky. You will soon see fast moving shiny objects. These are satellites.

The term for someone who is able to see close objects but unable to see distant objects is "nearsighted" or "myopic."
Light reflects off objects and enters your eyes, where it is focused by the lens onto the retina. The retina then converts the light signals into electrical impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. The brain processes these signals into images, allowing you to see objects around you.
The microscope aids the scientist by making it possible for them to see cells, get a closer look at small objects, and examining specimens
