Well, isn't that just the most joyful sight? Venus shines bright in the darkness because it's reflecting the light of the Sun. Just like how a mirror reflects our own beautiful smile right back at us! Enjoy the peaceful moment of observing Venus gracefully gliding through the night sky.

Why can we see Venus at night?

Ah, the beautiful Venus! When the sun sets and Venus is in the same direction as our planet on its orbit and is relatively close to us, we can see it shine brightly in the night sky. It's like a little companion keeping us company during the peaceful night time.


At certain times of the year the planet Venus is clearly visible in the night sky How can it be seen even though it's not a light source?

because the sun gives it light ** All planets travel in an orbit around the sun and by doing so at certain times they are well visible from Earth. When we can see Venus in the night sky, it is in an orbit closes to the Earth at that time. Other planets will also be seen when their orbit carries them close to Earths orbit.


How is the moon visible to us on earth?

The sun's light reflects off of the surface of the moon, illuminating it and allowing us to see it.


How can we see planets?

The planets positions change all the time. Some of the planets are easier to see. When they are visible, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can easily be seen with the naked eye, if you know where to look. The other planets need a set of binoculars or a telescope to see them. Check the site below to help you locate the planets. Currently Jupiter can be seen for a while after sunset, as a bright object low and towards the south.


Why don't we see a full moon every night?

because the position of the moon between the earth and the sun only allows us to see part of it. hence the 28 day cycle in which we can see a full moon once every 28 days.
