Why do planets and the moons shine so brightly if they do not produce light?

The light comes from the reflection of the suns light off their surface. It may seem like there is not enough light to make them shine so much, but compared to the night sky, there is enough reflected light off their surfaces for us to see detail in the moon and planets.
