This is in the west after the sun has gone down. It looks like a star, but I think I know that realy it is a planet. I see it when I am cycling home after 6pm on a clear night. I live in Reading Berkshire UK.

most probably Venus. it can also be in the east as he sun rises. it depends where it is on its orbit around the sun.
there is a small chance its Mercury but i doubt this.

That will be the planet Venus. If you look at it through a telescope you may see that it pas phases like the moon does.

Shouldn't you be watching the road when cycling on the roads instead of star gazing?
Only joking!
Yes its Venus.
Oo mind that car! screech.. smash crunch! oo my wheel's bent over in half. Now it looks just like a phase of Venus.
I'm bored.

It will most probably be Venus is it is about the size of a full moon and fiery red-orange in colour. I am told that Jupiter can also been seen with naked eyes in the evening skies during summer months but they are said to be much larger in size.

could be Venus Mercury is more difficult to see as it can be lost in
the glare of the sun and not easily seen with the naked eye as the sun is setting

Mecury is low in the west right now, (after sunset). Venus is SW of Merc., higher (and brighter). It's probably Mercury.

The best thing I can suggest is that you pull up an online star chart where you put in the name of your town, the date and approx time and it will show you what is up there and visible and when.
