Interesting question. I'm not an expert, but astronomy is one of my hobbies. Venus has a very thick atmosphere that only lets in a small amount of sunlight passing through the clouds. The surface is very hot because of the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. I do not know if the sun is even visible through the clouds during the daytime. However, if the sky of Venus was clear enough for the sun to be visible, it would be visible for a long time in the sky, in fact for many Earth days. This is because Venus has a slow rotation that makes its days and nights much longer than the days and nights on Earth. A better answer is you would see an extremely hot dim daylight for many Earth days, and then extremely hot darkness for many Earth days. This was submitted by M. Maljian from South Brunswick, NJ.

Why does venus shine the brightest although it is not the closest to the sun?
Venus appears brighter than Mercury for two main reasons. First, Venus is much larger than Mercury, which means it has a larger surface area to reflect sunlight. Second, the surface of Mercury consists largely of fairly dark rock, which does not relfect theat much sunlight. Venus is covered in white clouds of sulfuric acid, which reflect quite a bit of sunlight.
