Venus is called the evening star and the morning star at different places in its orbit.

Venus circles the sun in less time than the Earth so there is a time about every 19 months when it comes very close and overtakes us. When that happens it is between us and the Sun, and occasionally we can see it as a black dot cossing the Sun's disk (but not every time). In the 6-8 weeks before that happens we see it as the evening star, setting after the Sun, and in the 6-8 weeks afterwards it rises before the Sun and we see it as the morning star.
