Because Chemical (Hydrogen fusion) reactions are going on inside Sun which makes it too hot causing fire and visibly glowing at a distance from earth, even though its far away. In contrast, moon is comparatively colder object (like earth) which doesnt have any light of its own. It just reflects Sun's light falling on it, which makes it visible as a glowing object when viewed from earth.
