The planet Venus is called these names because it is the first bright object observed at dusk in the night sky, and the last bright object visible at dawn. This occurs because of Venus' location in the solar system relative to the Earth.

∙ 12y agoThe 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 as if its 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 reffered to as a morning or evening star also, but it is usually a lot closer to the sun and more difficult to see.
If visible, venus is only seen in the Evening, after sunset, or before dawn. You wont see it in the midnight sky or in the early hours as it will never be far from the suns position. This is because it orbits inside the Earths orbit.
