Venus shines very brightly as it can come relatively close to the earth. At around 23.7 million miles at its closest point, it is the planet that comes closest to us. It reflects a lot of the suns light due to its reflective atmosphere, consisting mainly of thick CO2 clouds. It is also fairly large, just a little smaller than the Earth.
