None of the planets are luminous as such. They are made bright by the sun shining on them, but they have no light of their own. We see some of the planets because the sun is shining on them. It is the same way that we are able to see the Moon.

More information on Saturn can be had by using the link below to the Wikipedia post on this, the second largest of the so-called gas giants.
