Question

Why do we call some nearby planets, like Venus to be a non-luminous body, although light comes out from those planets?

• A. As they produce their own light
• B. As they do not produce their own light
• C. As they behave like stars
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is B

As they do not produce their own light

Some nearby planets like Venus appear like a bright star during the early evening, but they do not produce their own light. They appear bright as they reflect the light which they receive from the Sun.
