How did they discover Venus?

Answer 1

Venus iis visible to the naked eye. In fact, it is the second brightest object in the night sky; only the moon is brighter. This makes it quite noticeable. Additionally, as with the other planets, Venus appears to move against the background of the stars.

Answer 2

Venus wasn't discovered, it has always been there...

You can see it with the naked eye. It is otherwise known as the Morning or Evening Star, but the ancients knew it wasn't a star because it moved funny, just like some other points of light they knew weren't stars, which they called planets. The ancients knew of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all too far away and weren't discovered until much later (Neptune and Pluto were discovered in the 20th century.)

Answer 3

The discovery of Venus dates back to antiquity, with records of the planet being observed by various civilizations including the Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans. The planet's brightness and visibility made it easily observable to the naked eye. Galileo Galilei was the first to observe Venus through a telescope in 1610, providing further insights into its phases similar to that of the Moon.
