Answer
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Reason —
Assertion (A) is true because luminous objects are those that emit their own light, whether they are natural (like the Sun) or artificial (like an electric bulb).
Reason (R) is true because the Sun is a natural source of light and bulbs are artificial sources of light.
However, the reason does not justify the assertion because it only classifies light sources as natural or artificial but does not explain why luminous objects emit light or define the property of luminosity. Therefore, although both statements are correct, the reason does not explain the assertion.

A passage is given below. Underline the errors and correct them in the given table.
All the bodies in our solar system are luminous except the sun and the stars. We can see other heavenly bodies of the solar system only when the light from earth falls on them. The sun revolves around the earth and the moon revolves around the earth. While revolving, the sun, earth and moon come in a straight line. This results in blocking of light from the moon. Eclipse is defined as the partial or total blocking of the heat of the sun by a heavenly body. There are two types of eclipses called the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse. When the earth casts its shadow on the earth, a solar eclipse is said to occur. When the earth casts its shadow on the moon, a lunar eclipse is said to occur. Solar eclipse occurs on a full moon night. Lunar eclipse occurs on a new moon night.
