The light we see from other planets is the light that they have reflected to the Earth from the Sun.

Explanation:

As planets don't give out light, we see them when they reflect light from the Sun. On the other hand, the light we see from stars is light-years away and takes a while to reach us and it is the light we see that the stars emitted.
