Venus is called the evening star during the few months when it is catching the Earth up and about to overtake it.
There is then a pause of a few weeks while it passes between us and the Sun, and after that it re-appears as the morning star as it speeds away from us.

∙ 12y agoThe planet Venus is sometimes called the morning or evening star. It can be very bright if in the right place in its orbit, as seen from earth. It will sometimes appear to be the first star to come out at night or in the morning. It is often the third brightest object in the sky after the sun and moon. Sometimes Mercury is reffered to as a morning or evening star also, but it is usually a lot closer to the sun and more difficult to see.

∙ 11y agoVenus is called the Evening Star and it happens in the couple of months before inferior conjunction. Venus's orbit is inside ours so it goes quicker and while it is catching us up it appears in the evening sky before and after sunset. While that is happening it's getting closer to us all the time, becoming brighter and brighter. Eventually it moves quickly in front of the Sun and disappears. A few weeks later it reappears the other side as the Morning Star before and after dawn.
You can see all this happening if you wait until the autumn of 2013.
