There are a number of reasons for the brightness of the planet Venus. The two planets closest to Earth are Venus and Mars, but Venus is much closer to the sun and therefore gets more light for it to reflect. All the larger planets (Jupiter etc.) are even farther from the sun than Mars is, as well as being much farther from the Earth. In addition, Venus is a particularly reflective planet, or in technical terms, it has a high albedo.
