I was wondering what that was! Why is Venus so bright in the sky today?

Depending on the position of the orbit of the earth and venus, you usually have to look in the direction of the sun to see it. Obv it is in the day light, so you can’t see it. But it’s just position of the planets in relation to the sun that’s allowing us to see Veenass.
