That would be Venus.
The sun appears to set earlier on the east coast compared to the west coast due to the curvature of the Earth. As the Earth rotates from west to east, areas on the east coast experience sunset before regions to the west. This difference in timing is a result of the Earth's rotation and the planet's shape.
That actually not a star but the planet Venus.You could also be referring to the planet Mercury. It can be seen just before Sunrise and just after Sunset. As mercury is nearest planet to the Sun, it is always seen very close to the Sun in the Sky. We can't see it in the morning because the is too bright and at night it is below the horizon. Hence, it is visible only for a few moments just before Sunrise and just after Sunset very near the horizon.
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.
A Martian sunset is a phenomenon on Mars where the sun sets below the horizon, creating a reddish-orange glow in the sky due to the scattering of light by Martian dust particles. The thin atmosphere on Mars allows for unique and vibrant sunset colors compared to those on Earth.
You must have seen Venus. Not just in Texas; almost anywhere in the world, you can see it after sunset (or even before sunset, if you look closely). Venus looks like a bright star, but it is actually a planet.
In August 2010, the planets Venus, Mars and Saturn are visible low in the west at sunset, while the planet Jupiter rises in the east at about 9 PM.
Yes. With the exception of the geographic north and south poles the sun rises from the easterly coordinate. Depending on your latitude and the time of year it will be more or less nearly due east.
The sunset!
the correct answer would be the north
According to weather.com, sunrise in Brighton, East Sussex, will occur at 6:40am, and sunset will occur at 7:09pm.
I live near the equator, and see Sirius towards the east (January 2014, after sunset). If you live in the northern hemisphere, you will see it more towards the south-east; if you live far south from the equator, you will see it more towards the north-east. Note that Sirius is currently the second-brightest "star" to the east after sunset; Jupiter may also be visible (depending on your location); it will appear as the brightest "star". Jupiter is technically a planet, but it looks like a bright star.
I have had a lot luck looking south east at sunset. But this depends on the time of year. Consult a sky map. Really good one are available on-line or via Astronomy Magazines.
Sunset on the east coast on 10/25 will occur at 6:01 PM.

Venus is the brightest planet in Earth's nighttime sky. It is often referred to as the "Evening Star" when it appears in the west after sunset and the "Morning Star" when it rises in the east before sunrise.
