Answer

The ground doesn't glow because it emits infrared radiation, which we can't see.

The ground does radiate energy in the form of infrared radiation, which is not visible to the human eye. Instead of glowing, this energy is typically lost to the surrounding atmosphere and space, making the ground appear dark to our vision.
