A luminous object is an object that can produce and emit its own light. These objects have their own source of energy that allows them to glow or shine. Examples of luminous objects include:
- Stars
- Burning candles
- Torches
On the other hand, non-luminous objects are those that cannot emit light on their own. Instead, they reflect light from other sources. Examples of non-luminous objects include:
- Moon
- Earth
- Planets
It is important to note that non-luminous objects can still be visible to us because they reflect light from luminous objects such as the Sun.
