In those circumstances, it's called "the Evening Star". Similarly, when it appears in the sky before sunrise, it's called "the Morning Star".
Well, darling, the brother planet to Earth is technically Venus. They're both rocky planets and are similar in size, but Venus is just a little hotter and has a bit of an attitude problem with its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide. So, if Earth and Venus were siblings, Earth would be the responsible one while Venus would be the rebellious troublemaker.
Venus is the closest in size but it is a very different planet in all other respects. The atmosphere is very thick and almost completely made of carbon dioxide. Venus suffers from severe global warming with surface temperatures of 400-500 degrees C.Venus is the closest to Earth in terms of size comparison, it is a little smaller.venus is closest, and then mars is half the size. (of earth)Venus is closest to Earth's size.Venus is 81.5% the mass of Earth. It's the closest in size to Earth.Venus is roughly the same size as Earth.Venus is very close to the size of the Earth, only about 5% smaller.Venus is the closest size to Earth and is sometimes called "Earth's sister planet." Its diameter is 95% of Earth's but its mass is only 81% as much.It is also often the closest planet to Earth, except when it is on the opposite side of the Sun, when either Mars or Mercury may be the closest in distance. The density of Venus is the closest to the Earth's density of the major planets.Venus, which is called the "sister planet" because of it being almost equal in size as the EarthVenus is the planet closest in size to the Earth's size.The equatorial diameter of Venus is about 95% the size of the earth's equatorial diameter. Venus also happens to be the planet whose: -- orbit is closest to the size of earth's orbit -- minimum distance from earth is the least -- appearance in our sky is brighter than any other object except the sun and moon -- mass is closest to the earth's mass -- density is closest to the earth's densityVenus
Pluto, which is a planetesimal, not a planet, orbits the star called Sol. Sol gives its name to our Sol-ar system, and is often called, "The Sun."
The sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovičić discontinuity, which often is called simply 'Moho', forms the boundary between the basalt rich crust and the planet's underlying, iron rich mantle.
For the most part, yes. But the actual determining factor for how much gravity a planet has is based on its mass, and since size and mass are often related it is somewhat accurate to say that the bigger the planet is, the more gravity it will have.
The planet that is often called the evening star is venus.

venus is usually mistaked for a star when seen at night.
It is called the evening star, but really it isn't a star, so we are all incorrect!
The planet Venus was called the "star of Aphrodite" in ancient times, as Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Venus is often referred to as Earth's "sister planet" due to its similar size and composition.
Venus. (In fact, Venus is a planet, but it is often called the "morning star" or the "evening star".)
The bright object currently(February 2009) visible in western skies is the planet Venus and not a star. It is near the sun, which is why it is seen after sunset and in the west, or sometimes in the early morning, before sunrise in the east.
The first evening star is usually the planet Venus. Venus is often visible shortly after sunset in the western sky, and because of its brightness, it is commonly referred to as the "evening star."

The evening planet refers to Venus, which is often visible in the western sky shortly after sunset. It is the third brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon, making it easily recognizable during the evening hours.
The bright star you are likely observing in the western sky just above the horizon in Missouri is probably the planet Venus. Venus is often visible as the brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon.
It isn't. Mars is called the red planet, because it's crust is rich in compounds of the element iron, many of which are reddish colored. Venus is yellowish in color, a result of its thick atmosphere.
