Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Non-luminous objects are those that do not emit light on their own. A moon is a
non-luminous object because it doesn't produce any light of its own. Only when the moon is
reflecting sunlight is it visible. as the temperature prevents glowing. Simply put, visible light
is emitted by hot objects. Cold objects don't. Thus, light is produced by fire, extremely hot
metal, and lava. Even colder things emit light, but humans cannot see it. The moon primarily
emits in the infrared range. Since we are unable to see that, the moon appears dark to us
unless it reflects sunlight.
The correct statement would be that the moon reflects the light of the sun and not its own light. So, the moon is a non-luminous body.
