venus
The brightest visible objects are: -- the sun -- the moon -- the planet Venus -- the planet Jupiter -- the planet Saturn -- the planet Mars -- the star Sirius
That depends on where you are. From the surface of earth, the brightest planet in our sky would be Venus, when it is visible. Sometimes it is behind the sun, and then Mars or Jupiter is brighter.
Venus can appear the brightest but it is not always so, Jupiter's brightness varies much less and is rather bright (brighter than when Venus is not at its peak)
The highest point reached by any body in the sky, including the Sun, is called the zenith.

Just now, Venus is the most brilliant planet, setting a couple of hours after the Sun (December 2013). In the new year it will swing round in front of the Sun, reaching inferior conjunction on January 11. In December the planet appears as a narrow crescent in a small telescope. In late January it will reappear as a brilliant morning star before sunrise, high up in the southern sky as seen from Europe or North America.
The sea is naturally clear then what ever colour the sky is the sea is. It is a reflection of the sky.
Earth's sky is blue for the most part.
