Best Answer

Planet Venus is one of the cosmic bodies that are easily visible without the need of the aid of any optical tool, so, it's not easy to attribute to anyone its discovery. However, we can mention the important contributions of scientists like Nicolaus Copernicus, with his Sun-centered Solar System theories; and Galileo Galilei, who observed Venus with the telescope he created herself.

No one is quite sure when Venus was first discovered. However, it is visible with the naked eye, so it could have been discovered far before anyone knew what they were looking at. The earliest mention of it was in 1600 BC.

As it is so close and bright, Venus has been known of since ancient times, so its discovery cant be pinned down to one particular person.

The planet Venus has been known and observed since the first pre-humans looked up into the night sky. We have no way of knowing the name of the first person who looked up and saw it.
