In other words, luminance is a measure of light not over time (like luminosity) but over an area.
Is the sun luminous or illuminous?
The sun is an example of a luminous object, while the moon is an illuminated object. During the day, the sun generates sufficient light to illuminate objects on Earth.
Is burning candle luminous or non luminous?
Luminous objects are those which have their own light and even emit their own light. Examples of these objects are sun, stars, torch and candle. Non-luminous objects are the objects that do not have their own source of light energy and hence they cannot emit light and are not responsible for vision.
Are planets luminous?
Because planets do not have nuclear fusion, they do not produce their own light. Instead, they shine with light reflected from a star.
