Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Venus
Venus is the brightest planet. Venus is so bright because its thick clouds reflect most of the sunlight that reaches it (about 70%) back into space. It also appears bright from Earth 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).
