The brightest star in the sky is Sirius which shines at magnitude -1.47. Jupiter can be as bright as -2.8 magnitude and Mars can be as bright as -2.9 magnitude but Venus is ALWAYS the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and rhe Moon, varying between magnitude of -3.8 and -4.6.
The only exception to this is when there is an especially bright comet or supernova around for a few weeks. Comet MacNaught peaked at magnitude -6 in January 2007 but rapidly became dimmer, once past its peak.

that's troublesome to declare because of the fact the evening sky variations in line with the seasons. this actual year, from early Fall till at last early Spring the planet Jupiter is rather bright. besides the Moon it relatively is the brightest merchandise interior the evening sky. that stands out as the case till at last Venus exhibits up. besides the shown fact that Venus is seen on the brink of the Horizon interior the early evening or morning hours. The planets will roam or "wander" because of the fact the Greeks observed and named them, because of the fact the term planet ability wanderer in historical Greek, changing their positions nightly. appropriate to the celebrities, Vega remains seen interior the early evening sky in the direction of the West. that's rather bright. evening sky gadgets are rated in line with their brightness via fee. The decrease selection the brighter. Lenny

That is a planet.
