Venus is the brightest planet in the whole sky, and its brightness is -3.3 to -4.4, which is 14 times brighter than the famous Sirius (the brightest star in the whole day except the sun), so it looks like a very dazzling diamond.
Venus, like the moon, has periodic changes, but because Venus is too far away from the earth, ordinary people can't see the changes.
Venus is the morning star. Venus is one of the eight planets in the solar system, ranking second in the order from near to far from the sun.
Venus will not reach its maximum brightness until sunrise or sunset. It sometimes appears in the eastern sky before dawn, and is called "Qi Ming". Sometimes it appears in the western sky after dusk and is called Chang Geng. Besides the sun and the moon, Venus is the brightest star in the whole day.
It is 14 times brighter than the famous Sirius (the brightest star except the sun) and looks like a dazzling diamond, so the ancient Greeks called it Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, while the Romans called it Venus, the god of beauty. Venus appears in the morning as the morning star, and at night as the evening star, sometimes very close, which is the famous "Venus with the Moon".
The order from near to far from the sun is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. In ancient Greece, the earth was the center, and the moon, mercury, Venus, the sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were arranged in turn. Venus, also known as "Morning Star" and "Chang Gung", is divided by size. Although it is very bright, it only appears in the morning and evening because it belongs to the inner solar system and is close to the earth.
