At certain times of the year the planet Venus is clearly visible in the night sky How can it be seen even though it's not a light source?

because the sun gives it light ** All planets travel in an orbit around the sun and by doing so at certain times they are well visible from Earth. When we can see Venus in the night sky, it is in an orbit closes to the Earth at that time. Other planets will also be seen when their orbit carries them close to Earths orbit.

What is venus light dark cycle?

Electromagnetic radiation with range and wavelength between 3900 (VIOLET) and 7700 (RED)... I think the question refers to the length of daylight and night on Venus. The solar day is about 117 Earth days. So, roughly the daylight and night should be about 58 Earth days each. Venus rotates at almost 90 degrees to its orbit so the day/night lengths should not vary too much.
