Question

Morning star is the name given to
A. pole star
B. star Sirius
C. planet Jupiter
D. planet Venus

Answer 1

Hint: Morning star is planet Venus. It is based on its appearance in the sky and its brightness.

Complete step by step answer:
We know that Venus is a planet but still called a star. This is because, unlike the outer planets, Venus is always relatively close to the sun in the sky. When Venus is on one side of the sun, its brightness enters into view shortly after the sun sets when the sky is dark to make it visible when the sun just goes down, Venus at its brightest becomes visible in minutes.So, it is called the evening star when Venus is at the sun's other side, it leads the sun while travelling across the sky. Venus rises in the morning a few hours before the sun. After that the sun rises and the sky then brightest and as a result Venus fades away in the daytime sky.Thus, Venus is called a morning star also.From the above discussion, it is clear that the morning star is the name given to planet Venus.
Hence, the correct option is D.

Note: We know Pole stars are visible only at night not in day time. So, it is not a morning star.Similarly, star Venus is a part of the constellation i.e. ovion. It is the brightest star in the sky but is not visible in daytime.The planet Jupiter’s is far away from the sun, so it does not appear as a star and is not visible.Also the plant is known as an evening star due to its appearance with respect to the sun.
