How to use "Luminous" in context?
When you think about luminous, what comes to mind? Most likely a light bulb, or a piece of jewelry with a lot of glimmer. But what about things like the sky on a clear night? Or the sun? All of these things are naturally luminous. There's nothing technically special about them - they're just covered in light. And that's what makes them so special.
Some things are only luminous in certain situations. You see the sky at night as luminous, but during the day the sun is also plenty bright. The same goes for natural objects like the sun, stars and moon.
