The sun and moon are always in the sky, but for half of the time, the earth turns you away from the part of the sky where they are, so that you can't see them. During those times, people on the other side of the earth can see them.

Because Venus, along with Mercury, are inner planets it never appears too far from the sun. In fact Venus never strays more than 47 degrees from the sun. That makes it always appear in the western sky after sunset or in the morning sky in the east at dawn, and that's where our crescent moons always appear.
