Venus shows up around the eastern sky during the winter time.
Edit: I don't think it can be Venus, because that planet is always fairly close to the Sun in the sky and the Sun sets in the west. The likely answer is Sirius, at
least in the Northern Hemisphere.

What star or planet appears in the east at sunset during the summer?
Many stars can be seen near the Sun at all times of the year. The planet Venus is always near the Sun and is often mistaken as being a star because it appears very bright when it can be seen. However it is not always seen during the summer months, being visible at other times of the year and it also can sometimes be seen before sunrise. It has often been nicknamed the Morning Star and the Evening Star as it will not be seen throughout the night, like most of the other planets. When we see it depends on its orbit of the Sun and the Earth's location. The planet Mercury is very close to the Sun and so much harder to see.
Why is mercury not visible from earth?
It is visible, but not obviously as a planet. It is millions of miles away, and appears as a very bright star near the horizon, shortly before dawn or shortly after sunset. For some of the year, it is invisible because it appears too close to the Sun.
