Venus is the 3rd brightest object in the sky, after the Sun and the Moon, because its thick atmosphere is so hot that it is actually radiant (it gives off light, not just reflecting sunlight like the Moon does). It is hotter than Mercury, even though Venus is farther from the sun than Mercury. Venus gives off so much light, in fact, that it is possible to see the planet with the naked eye even during daylight.
