Im sure everyone has seen jupiter an venus close to the moon this week,so if theyre both planets,how come there shining bright like stars?

An how come venus can be seen "beside" jupiter whenever venus is closer to the sun than earth is an jupiter like the 5th or 6th planet away from the sun lol?

It's the reflection of light from the sun .

Jupiter reflects about 35% and Venus about 70% of the sunlight that hits it

If venus is closer to the sun than the earth,how can we see venus an jupiter at the one time?

Probably because Venus is closest to us we see it , and probably because Jupiter is so big we can see that

Yellow is the sun .. green is earth ... Blue  is Venus ... Purple is Jupiter .. 

as you can see even though Venus is closer to the sun  Jupiter can still be in the same viewing point from earth .
