The sun shines because the fusion reactions taking place there release a tremendous amount of energy. And light, which is electromagnetic energy, is released in great quantities. The brightness of the sun speaks to the amount of power it generates.

Because of the nuclear reactions that go on within the sun, specifically, nuclear fusion. The energy this generates is released in the form of light and heat.
