Mainly due to the distances involved. The planets are very close to our sun compared to other objects further out in other solar systems or galaxies. Light from our sun does go along way out, though becomes very feeble once you go out beyond the outermost planets in our solar system.

What can the sun do that the moon and other planets cant?

stars,metiorite and the sun emit light,comites do both. other than that the moon and the planets reflect light
Why you can see other planets and the moon?
You can see the other planets and the moon (at night), because like the Earth, they all reflect light from the Sun.
Is there life in other planets other than earth?
noones quite sure yet about if there is life on other planets because there is just no scientific proof of that yet. It would take to long to trave to other planets outside of our solar system because they can be light years away. However when we develope a way to reach the speed of light im sure we'll find out
Does the energy from Sun energise other planets so they can emit light?
No. Planets do not emit light; they can only reflect light from the Sun.
Where does the light come from when you see the moon and other planets?
we get the light from the sun
Why are the planets visible even though they are not light sources?
other stars project light to planets reflects right to your eyes
Are there any planets that are less then a light year away from Earth?
All of the planets in our Solar System are less than a light year away, but no other planets around other stars are within that distance.
Does the moon earth planets or sun give off their own light?
Yes, it does and it reflects light onto other planets making stars.
What can the sun do that the moon and other planets cant?
The sun burn gases and is static, where as the moon and the other planets move and are not sources of light.
What is the difference between sun to the other planet?
Sun has its own light while other planets do not have their own light
How old would you be on mars if you are 12?
12.... age doesnt change on other planets, nor does mass.
If planets do not produce their own light how would we be able to see mars and venus?
Like our Moon, other planets can also reflect light from our Sun.
Does Jupiter emit its own light?
No. Like the other planets it only reflects light from the sun.
Does a planet glow?
No. planets do not glow, they reflect light, like the moon does. The moon does not glow by itself. the light from the sun hits it and reflects and that light is the light we see comign from the moon. The other planets also do this likewise.
Can light be used to know the existence of organisms in other planets?
yes
