The sun is an excellent source of light for all the planets and moons, although it gets a little dodgy way out near Pluto. The moon reflects about 10% of the sunlight that hits it, that's why we see it. Venus' albedo is about 0.75, what with its clouds and all. That means 75% of the sunlight that hits it is reflected back into space for us to see.
