Stars are mainly made of hydrogen and helium, and produce energy and light with atomic fusion at the core. Venus is made of rock and doesn't produce light, it just reflects light from the sun. Also, stars are hundreds of times bigger than Venus.

Stars are 'Suns' balls of hydrogen emitting energy (light) due to nuclear fusion processes happening in their cores.

Planets are balls of matter orbiting Stars.

Venus orbits the Sun (a Star) and does not generate energy from internal nuclear fusion, Venus is therefore a planet.
