The third brightest natural object in the sky is Venus, visible sometimes in the the western evening sky, and sometimes in the eastern morning sky.
Venus is not a star, but a planet. Planets are far smaller than stars and shine primarily from reflected sunlight.
The planet Venus is sometimes called the morning or evening star. It can be very bright if in the right place in its orbit, as seen from earth. It will sometimes appear to be the first object to come out at night or in the morning.
Both Mercury and Venus have been known as the "morning star" or "evening star" in some form for various cultures and civilizations. Sometimes, these evening and morning appearances were thought to represent different "stars." (Of course, they are not stars at all and are rather the two planets closest to the Sun.) In ancient Greece, Mercury was called Apollo when it appeared as a morning star with sunrise and Hermes (the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Mercury) when it appeared as an evening star near sunset. Venus was also known to ancient civilizations both as the "morning star" and as the "evening star". The Greeks thought of the two as separate stars, Phosphoros and Hesperos, until the sixth century BC. The Romans designated the morning aspect of Venus as Lucifer (meaning Light-Bringer) and the evening aspect as Vesper. Venus is dramatic in the morning and evening sky while Mercury is smaller, dimmer and hard to see. (Most people have never seen Mercury and everyone has seen Venus whether they know it or not.) As a consequence, references to Venus are more common when the term morning star or evening star are made. (It is also true that sometimes any star that is the first visible start of the morning or evening is given such a name for that particular day.)
Any planets further in would tend to appear as morning or evening "stars." So from Mars the planets Earth, Venus, and Mercury would all be morning and evening "stars." Venus, of course, would be much brighter than Earth, even though Earth would generally be closer. Earth has a lower albedo.
Since the visible planets as a class are the brightest things in the sky (after the Sun and Moon), the first object to appear in the evening twilight sky ... referred to historically as the "Evening Star" ... is typically a planet. It can be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn. However, Venus is usually referred to as the Morning and Evening star.
Venus is often referred to as the most brilliant planet in the sky. It is the second planet from the Sun and shines brightly due to its thick cloud cover that reflects sunlight. Venus is visible both in the morning and evening and is sometimes mistaken for a UFO due to its intense brightness.
Venus is known as both the morning star and the evening star because it is visible in the sky during these times. It is the second planet from the sun in our solar system.
Venus is called both the "Morning Star" and the "Evening Star".
The names just refer to when the planet can be seen - either in the morning or in the evening, depending on where it is in its orbit around the sun.
Venus and Mercury are known as both evening and morning stars because they can be seen low on the horizon before sunrise (morning star) or shortly after sunset (evening star).
The planet Venus is sometimes called the morning or evening star. It can be very bright if in the right place in its orbit, as seen from earth. It will sometimes appear to be the first object to come out at night or in the morning.
Venus Looks like a star in the sky but is a planet which shines with light from the sun. Called both the Evening Star and the Morning Star but is not a star.
The Sheffield Star has both a morning and an evening edition.
Pythagoras is credited with noticing that the morning star and the evening star were one and the same. He understood that both objects were actually the planet Venus appearing at different times during the day.
it is both the morning star & evening star
Both are related to day and night.
