The sun glows because it is emitting massive quantities of electromagnetic energy in optical wavelengths. Recall that the sun is a massive nuclear fusion engine, and all the fusion is being carried out in a super-hot environment. Light is one of the products of this fusion process, and the sun emits a massive amount of it. Those who study the sun and other stars call the fusion process stellar nucleosynthesis, in case you were wondering. A link can be found below for more information.
