Why Venus Is Visible at Night
Venus is often the brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon. It is visible because it reflects sunlight while orbiting closer to the Sun than Earth.
Best Times to See Venus
Venus appears as an evening star after sunset or as a morning star before sunrise. Its visibility changes over months as it moves along its orbit. Check current sky conditions with a reliable astronomy source.
How to Spot Venus in the Night Sky
Look toward the western sky after sunset or the eastern sky before sunrise. Venus usually shines with a steady, bright light and does not twinkle like most stars. You can use a sky map app to confirm its position.
