What's the bright light in the sky?

Question

Somebody told me its Venus

Answer 1

The Sun? Moon? Venus? Take your pick...but I bet your are talking about Venus.

Answer 2

just before sunrise or after sunset, Venus tends to be the brightest thing in the sky (besides the moon and artificial sources). Longer after sunset, though, it becomes less likely that you are seeing light from Venus, and more likely the light is from Jupiter or Mars. Jupiter has a 12-year orbit, so it doesn't move very much in comparison to the stars behind it. Mars 2-year. Venus 225 days.

Answer 3

If you're referring to the brightest star-like object in the night sky, it's definitely the planet Venus. It's an evening 'star' for a period of about 7 months or so, roughly starting about every 1 1/2 years. After about mid-July this year, it will be too close to the sun to view with the naked eye. Later this year, in September, it will be a morning 'star' (before dawn).

Answer 4

In the sky can be many bright lights. The planet Venus right after sunset and at dawn indeed is brighter than other celestial body.

Answer 5

Late at night, I think that Venus can be seen during certain points of the year. Same with Mars.

Or it might also be the northern star.
