Luminous objects are those that give out their own light. Examples: Sun and burning candle.

Answer
Non-luminous objects do not give out their own light. We see them when light from a source reflects off them. Examples: Book and chair.

We can see non-luminous objects because light from a source (like the Sun or bulb) falls on them and bounces back to our eyes. This bouncing back of light is called reflection.
