Only very close to sunrise or sunset. In both cases, it is easier when the sun is below the horizon. The brighter the skies, the more difficult it is to see it. You would also need to know where to look. It will always be close to where the sun is, which is what makes it so difficult to see.

Yes it does flash different colors, usually before and after sunset. This remains unexplained. As our sky's brightest visible neighbor (after the Moon), the planet Venus is often mistaken for a UFO.

Venus lies between Earth and the Sun in its orbit. This means that when Earth is turned away from the Sun (at night), it is also turned away from Venus. Just like if you were to turn your back on a person, you would also lose sight of any people standing between you.

If Earth, Venus, and the Sun were always perfectly aligned then Venus would always rise and set at exactly the same time as the Sun. However such alignments are rare. Usually Venus will be in a different part of the sky, so can still be visible for many hours after sunset. At other times Venus might set before the Sun and the rise shortly after midnight.

In most parts of the world Venus will not be visible at midnight. However because the Earth's axis is tilted, the polar regions can be angled towards the Sun for months at a time during summer. In these regions Venus can be visible all night and all day, never setting for months.

If you are interested in seeing what times Venus rises and sets where you live, the related link has useful charts which display the rise/set times of all the visible planets at different latitudes.

No it does not. Venus is the same temperature day and night.

No. Because Venus is close to the sun, it will always be near the sun in the sky. So, it will only be visible for a little while after sunset, or a little while before sunrise.

No. Part of the time, it is on the other side of the sun from us, and hence not visible on earth, and some of the time it is too close to the sun's glare to see it.
