Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. Although it is very far from us, it does reflect light towards us, just like the Moon does. It doesn't look as large or as bright as the Moon, but when it can be seen, it is much brighter than any star. It is constantly moving so and you can't see it every night of the year, but you can see it for much of the year. There are good websites, like Heavens-Above, which will tell you when and where to see it. It can be seen with the naked eye, but is even better in a good telescope.
