      It is so because it is very close to us so it is just too bright to notice the light of other stars when we have all this light from the Sun when it is so close to us! But even despite that we can sometimes see other planets in our system that are either close (like Venus) or very large (like Jupiter) during the day! Just remember that neither other planet or our Moon emits any light, what we see is actually sunlight being reflected back from them!
