Summary

As long as humans have looked up in the sky, they noticed something. There was an unusually bright star that would show up in the early morning or early evening. This star was one of the few points of light in the sky that moved. They were dubbed planets, and the one that appeared in the morning and evening was thought to be two different ones. Today, we know much more about that moving star in the sky and found that it is one of the most dangerous places in the solar system. Learn more about Venus, the second planet from the sun, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

0:00.0	As long as humans have looked up into the sky, they noticed something.
0:04.0	There was an unusually bright star that would show up in the early morning or the early evening.
0:09.0	This star was one of the few points of light in the sky that moved.
0:12.0	These moving lights were
0:13.7	dubbed planets and the one that appeared in the morning and evening was

0:30.3	Daily. everywhere daily. To start any discussion on Venus, it should probably begin with why Venus is known as the
0:51.8	Morning Star or the Evening Star.
0:54.0	Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth.
0:57.0	If you can, imagine two circles to represent the orbital paths of the Earth and Venus,
1:01.0	one inside the other. If you draw a line from any point on the Earth and Venus, one inside the other.
1:03.0	If you draw a line from any point on the outer circle to any point on the inner circle,

1:11.0	Hence, an observer on Earth is never going to be able to see Venus at midnight
1:14.6	because it has an orbit closer to the Sun. And the same holds true with Mercury
1:18.6	but even more so because it's even closer to the Sun than Venus. Because Venus is much larger than Mercury from our vantage point on Earth,
1:26.0	it means that Venus is the second brightest object in the night sky after the moon.
1:31.0	Because observing Venus meant observing it during a very short window in the morning or evening,
1:36.1	we didn't know as much about it as we did for other planets such as Mars, which we could observe in the
