Question

The venus appears more shining than other stars because:

• A. it is heavier than other stars.
• B. its density is more than that of other stars.
• C. it is nearer to earth than other stars.
• D. there is no atmosphere on it.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

it is nearer to earth than other stars.

Venus is so bright because its thick clouds reflect most of the sunlight that reaches it (about 70%) back into space, and because it is the closest planet to Earth. Venus can often be seen within a few hours after sunset or before sunrise as the brightest object in the sky (other than the moon).
