Venus indicates the direction of: (C) East.
Here’s why:
- Venus is an inner planet, meaning its orbit is closer to the Sun than Earth’s orbit.
- Because of this positioning, Venus can only be seen in the morning or evening sky, never directly overhead at night.
- In the morning sky, Venus appears as a bright “morning star” just before sunrise, indicating the direction of the east.
- In the evening sky, it becomes the “evening star” visible shortly after sunset, again in the east relative to your position on Earth.
Therefore, Venus’s visibility helps determine the east, either as the morning or evening star.
