Correct Answer - Option 2 : Venus

The correct answer is Venus.

  • Venus is known as the evening star.

  • It shines so brightly that it is the first “star” to appear in the sky after the Sun sets or the last to disappear before the Sun rises.
  • Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets in the Solar System and the closest planet to the Sun. Its rotation period is about 88 days.
  • When viewed from Earth it is seen revolving around its orbit in 116 days, which is the fastest among the planets.
  • Mercury is about 1.5 times more distant from the Sun.

  • Venus is called the morning star since it shines so brightly that it is the first Star that appears in the sky after the sunset and the last to disappear before the sunrise. It is the second planet after mercury in the solar system.
  • Mars is the second smallest planet of the solar system and is the fourth planet from the Sun. It is also called ‘Red Planet’ due to iron oxide's presence on its surface.
  • Saturn is the second-largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter and is the 6th planet from the Sun. It is about 9 times that of earth and is a gas giant. It is famous for the beautiful rings it creates around it.
