Keep in mind that planets do not emit light. Their brightness depends on the brightness of the light source illuminating them, on their distance from that light source, on their surface albedo, and on their distance from the viewer. Therefore, which planet appears brightest depends on where the viewer is in the solar system. From earth, Venus is the brightest planet both because of the relative distances and its high surface albedo (which is due to its surface being completely covered by very white cloud cover).
