Question

Which planet is known as the morning star?

• A. Mars
• B. Jupiter
• C. Mercury
• D. Venus

Hint:

Venus is the brightest planet and appears at dawn or dusk—earning it the name “morning star” or “evening star.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Venus is often called the "Morning Star" or "Evening Star" because it is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon.
It appears in the eastern sky just before sunrise (hence morning star) or in the western sky just after sunset.
This brightness is due to its thick clouds that reflect sunlight very well. Why not others?
- Mars: known as the "Red Planet"
- Jupiter: largest planet, not very bright in comparison
- Mercury: also visible at times but not as bright as Venus
