Why is it feminine?
Luz is feminine because it derives from Latin "lux, lucis" (third declension), which was grammatically feminine in Latin, and Portuguese retained this gender classification when the word evolved. The -z ending in Portuguese often marks feminine nouns derived from Latin third-declension words ending in -x (like lux > luz), and "luz" maintained the feminine gender of its etymological source.
