Venus is closer to the Sun than we are, so it always appears close to the Sun in the sky.

At times when it sets after the Sun, it is called the Evening Star. It becomes brighter and brighter as it catches up with us in its orbit, and finally it moves round in front of the Sun and disappears in the glare. A few weeks later is reappers as a morning star, rising before sunrise. It's bright at first and then it gradually becomes dimmer and disappears behind the Sun.

Venus the Evening Star will be visible in early 2014.
