It's probably because venus is close to the sun and goes around the sky along with the sun.

Can venus be seen at night from earth without a telescope?

Yes, Venus is often visible from Earth without a telescope, typically shortly after sunset or before sunrise. It is one of the brightest objects in the night sky, often referred to as the "evening star" or "morning star" depending on when it is visible.

Venus is the brightest planet in the sky. It is often referred to as the "evening star" when visible in the western sky after sunset or the "morning star" when visible in the eastern sky before sunrise.


How are Venus's and mars visible together?

If the question is how it is possible to see both Venus and Mars in the same part of the sky on a particular night, the answer would be when Mars is at a point in its orbit that it is either about to go behind the sun from the Earth's perspective or it is emerging from "behind" the sun. Because Venus is closer to the sun than the Earth, we cannot see it late at night when the observer is peering outward in our solar system; the only times are around dusk and dawn when the observer is looking towards the sun but the sun's rays have not yet made the sky too bright to see Venus. This means that the only time we can see Mars and Venus simutaneously is if Mars is also in the direction of Sun. Therefore, if you want to see Mars and Venus at the same time, you have to find out when Mars is out during the early morning and evening and if Venus is also visible during that same time period. Hope this helps!

Venus is the second brightest object in the night sky. Only the moon is brighter. It is normally visible shortly after sunset or shortly before sunrise.
