▪️ Venus is the second planet from the Sun and revolves around the Sun every 224.7 Earth days.

▪️ The planet is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.

▪️ It is the brightest natural object in the night sky after the moon.

▪️ Its virtual magnitude reaches a level of -4.6 and it is bright enough to cast a shadow.

▪️ Since Venus is an inferior planet, when viewed from Earth, it never looks away from the Sun: its horizon reaches a maximum of 47.8 degrees.

▪️ Venus reaches its maximum brightness only before sunrise or only after sunset.

▪️ This is the reason for which it has been referred by the ancient cultures as morning star or evening star.‌‌
