Kevin is observing the sky on a clear night. With the unaided eye he is able to see Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Why would Venus appear to be brighter than the other planets?

A) It reflects the most sunlight toward Earth.

Explanation:

Each planet reflects a different amount of light. Some planets’ consistency and atmosphere do not let them reflect much of the light. Yet, Venus is surrounded by very thick clouds of sulphuric acid and gases. These clouds reflect light easily as sunlight bounces off of them. Venus reflects almost 75% of the sunlight that falls on its surface.

Besides this, Venus is rather close to the Earth, so very visible. It is also in a good position that is rather near to the Sun (although it’s not closest to it – that is Mercury), which makes its position very good for reflecting sunlight towards the earth and being very visible.
