Venus is the brightest planet in our Solar System because it is covered by highly reflective clouds made up of sulfuric acid droplets. These clouds reflect a significant portion of the sunlight that falls on Venus, making it appear exceptionally bright in the sky. Additionally, Venus is relatively close to Earth and can appear at its brightest when it is at its closest point to us in its orbit.
