because light used to see an object must have a wavelength
In order to "see" something with eyes, the object must be longer than the light wave refracted from it. Molecules are too small to be refracted.
All colors. As well as electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longerthan the longest visible ones and shorter than the shortest visible ones ..."colors" that we can't even see.
All of the colors that you have ever seen, ever will see, or can imagine, are classified as visible light. It's logically absurd to argue that there is anything that can be called "color" and is not visible, or that any visual stimulus exists that has no color.
Because the Sun's photosphere is so much brighter in visible light (most of the light the Sun's corona emits is ultraviolet). It is necessary to block the light from the Sun's photosphere to see the Sun's corona.
Venus itself doesn't generate much visible light. There may be some electrical activity in its atmosphere that generates some light, but it's minimal. The light we see from Venus is mostly reflected light from the sun.

If your vision is normal, then you CAN see visible light.

No. Atoms and molecules are far smaller than the wavelengths of visible light, so light cannot be used to image them.
we see things when a light source goes into our eyes or when it reflects off an object

Visible means "what you can see" - so yes.
Air does not absorb or reflect enough light to be visible, regardless of what temperature it is.
-- The source may be one that emits electromagnetic energy in the radio portion of the spectrum but little or no visible light. -- There may be material in the way, such as dust or gas, that absorbs visible light but doesn't absorb radio energy.
The advantage of visible light is that you can see it. Also, because our eyes are sensitive to light you can see colors. Violet has the shortest wavelength and red has the longest. Visible light is the only EM waves that you can see.
UV bulbs usually have a coating on the inside that glows when the light is on, providing indication in the visible light part of the spectrum.
