That completely depends on the date and the time when you saw it.
The sky changes every hour and every day.
it is venus venus has some particles in its atmosphere and when the sun hits it it looks really bright it will be the first star in the sky
As of November 2013, you can see Venus towards the west, after sunset. Any time that Venus appears in the sky, it is the brightest "star". It is not technically a star, but it certainly looks like one.

The bright ones
Magnitude
There is no particularly bright star near the south pole of the sky. A nearby star is Sigma Octans, but it is not as bright a star as Polaris (the North Star).
sometimes you can see the planet venus!

No. Sigma Octans is a star close to the south pole of the sky, but it is not particularly bright.
The bright ones
yes it is but you could also say: South Africa shined like a bright star in the sky.
In the northern hemisphere, we have a moderately bright star called 'Polaris' or the 'North Star' ... that happens to be located near the north pole of the sky, and the stars appear to revolve around it once a day. The stars appear to do the same in the southern hemisphere. But it's a little less obvious, because there's no particularly bright star near the south pole of the sky.
Magnitude
Venus is the brightest star. It is also the hottest planet it reflects a lot of light from the sun and we can see it as a bright dot in the sky.
It always appears due north in the sky and is a reasonably bright star
