Since Venus can be seen with the naked eye, no one really knows who discovered Venus. Venus' beautiful color made it easy for ancient astronomers to find it in the night sky long before the invention of the telescope.

Venus is quite bright, so it was easily observed even in very primitive times. Some ancient cultures did not recognized it as a planet, but thought in terms of a "morning star" and an "evening star." The Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa, dated 1581 BC, shows that the Babylonians made detailed observations of Venus and understood that it was a single entity.

It depends on what you mean by discover. Because Venus is so bright, the first caveman who went outside at dusk or dawn surely noticed it. The ancient Greeks knew enough about it to know that it was different from other ''stars''. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were also known to the ancients. This probably includes among many others the Chinese, Babylonian, and early American cultures which were relatively sophisticated. Galileo in 1610 was first to observe that Venus had a visible disk and that it had phases like the moon so perhaps he could be considered to have discovered the modern Venus. Captain James Cook made observations of a ''Transit of Venus'' in 1776-1779.
Venus is clearly visible without a telescope in the morning and evening sky, and it was easily seen by prehistoric people. Venus had no need of discovery.
Venus is bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, so was 'discovered' ages ago. Long before any records were kept.
Venus can hardly be said to be "discovered". It has been visible in the night sky since creatures first looked up into the sky. So if it was "discovered" it would have been by looking.
The other bright planets and Venus were known to the Ancient Greeks, and probably to other ancient civilizations.
Many scientists have studied Venus. The scientific teams that flew spacecraft such as Mariner 2 and Magellan have gathered much data on the planet Venus.

When Venus was discovered, scientists learned that it was the brightest planet in the solar system. It was also able to cast shadows and Galileo was the first person to view Venus through a telescope.
Earth, then Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, and Mars.
The other bright planets and Venus were known to the Ancient Greeks, and probably to other ancient civilizations.
Venus does not have any moons, so they couldn't be discovered.

Many peoples and cultures discovered the planet Venus at different time periods (E.G: acient Greeks and myins) so it's hard to say who discovered it first

12bc was when venus was discovered but experts arent really sure due to that venus is a planet we can see at night
No moons have been discovered that orbit Venus.
Venus is one of the planets that is visible without a telescope. The planet has been known since antiquity. Galileo was the first astronomer to study Venus through a telescope.
