Venus is often referred to as the “Evening Star” or “Morning Star” because it shines brightly during twilight hours. In the night sky, Venus typically appears as a bright white or yellowish-white point of light. The reason for this striking appearance is primarily due to its reflective clouds that cover its surface, allowing it to reflect sunlight very efficiently.
In some instances, atmospheric conditions can alter its hue slightly, making it seem more orange or even red, but these variations are generally minor. However, its overall brightness and white/yellowish color make it one of the most easily identifiable celestial objects we can see with the naked eye.
