because the sun gives it light ** All planets travel in an orbit around the sun and by doing so at certain times they are well visible from Earth. When we can see Venus in the night sky, it is in an orbit closes to the Earth at that time. Other planets will also be seen when their orbit carries them close to Earths orbit.
