What is the morning star?

Venus is one of the eight planets in the solar system, and its brightness in the night sky is second only to that of the moon. Venus will not reach its maximum brightness until just before sunrise or after sunset. It appears in the eastern sky in the morning and is called "Qiming". In China, the folk call Qixing "Taibai" or "Taibai Venus". It is also the first morning star Venus that comes out every night.

Extended data:

Take the earth as one of the vertices of a triangle and connect Venus and the sun respectively, and you will find that this angle is very small, even at the maximum, it is only 48.5. Therefore, when we see Venus, it is either in the morning or in the evening, and it is on the east and west sides of the sky respectively.

Venus was called Taibai in ancient China. It was also called Qiming, Xiaoxing and Mingxing when it appeared in the east in the morning, and Chang Geng and Twilight when it appeared in the west in the evening. Because it is very bright, it can arouse the imagination of the ancient people in China.
