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 star to come out at night or in the morning. It is often the third brightest object in the sky after the sun and moon. Sometimes Mercury is also referred to as a morning or evening star, but it is usually a lot closer to the sun and more difficult to see.

∙ 12y agoNo. When venus is the evening Star, it is setting just after the sun. When it becomes the morning star, its in a totally different place relative to the sun and Earth, rising before the sun. It takes several months for the planet to move to this new position.

∙ 15y agoVenus is a planet that is closer to the sun than us. When we see it, it is very bright, because it reflects the sun's light. It looks brighter than any star in the night sky. Because it is close to the sun, we only see it early in the morning, just before sunrise or in the evening, just after sunset. For these reasons, it is often referred to as the "Morning star" or the "Evening star".
