The ultimate source of light and energy, the Sun is by far the brightest object in our solar system. Its luminosity illuminates all other celestial bodies.
Earth's natural satellite, the Moon reflects sunlight, making it the second-brightest object visible from Earth, especially during a full moon.
Known as the "Evening Star" or "Morning Star," Venus is the brightest planet in the sky, thanks to its thick, reflective cloud cover.
The largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter shines brightly due to its massive size and reflective clouds of ammonia crystals.
Often appearing as a bright red point in the night sky, Mars owes its brightness to its proximity to Earth and iron oxide on its surface.
Closest to the Sun, Mercury appears bright in the twilight sky, though its visibility is often limited due to its position near the Sun.
Known for its stunning rings, Saturn is a bright object in the sky, especially when its rings reflect sunlight at favorable angles.
While dimmer than others on this list, Uranus can be spotted with the naked eye under ideal conditions, appearing as a faint, blue-green star-like object.
