Where can I see Venus from the Earth?

You should be able to see Venus in the evening or in the morning, when it will be close to the horizon where the Sun is rising/setting. This is why Venus is called either the evening or morning star. You don't need a telescope or anything to see it, it should be easily visible to the naked eye, but if you live in a city, you might not be able to see it because of light pollution.

Right here: http://earth.google.com/\n\nReally neat, you can sometimes even see right into backyards!

Venus. This time of year though Venus is visible in the early morning so if you see this "star" at night rising from the east it may be Jupiter. It's quite bright as well.

Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is thought to be similar to the Earth in many ways.  Its diameter is just slightly smaller than the Earth's, and it is believed that Venus weighs just  slightly less than the Earth.  \n\nThe surface of Venus is thought to be covered by plains and mountains much like the Earth.  There appear to be a few active volcanoes, and it is believed that Venus was covered by many active volcanoes millions of years ago. \n\nUnlike the Earth, there are no craters left behind by meteorites, and Venus has no moons or satellites.  Venus has no oceans, water, ice, or water vapor on its surface or in its atmosphere.  Instead, Venus is covered by a very thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid.  \n\nIts thick atmosphere produces a powerful "greenhouse effect," causing the temperature to rise to 740 degrees.  Many astrophysicists believe that water did exist on Venus at one time, but that it was boiled away by the "greenhouse effect."\n\nVenus is the third brightest object in the sky; only the Sun and the Moon are brighter.  Because of its brightness, it is believed that Venus has been observed since prehistoric times.\n\nVenus rotates very slowly on its axis.  It takes 243 Earth days for Venus to make one complete rotation on its axis.  Venus revolves around the Sun slightly faster than it rotates on its axis.  In other words, a day on Venus lasts longer than one Venetian year.  \n\nVenus also rotates backwards or retrograde when compared to the Earth and the other planets in our solar system.

Venus is closer to the sun than Earth so has a smaller orbit.\nMars is further from the sun than us, so has a bigger orbit.

Venus was the first planet found as it is the third brightest object in the sky aside from the sun and the moon, sometimes being bright enough to be seen in daylight. As such, it was seen when people first began to look at the sky.\n\nThe oldest written record of Venus is from Babylon around 1600 BC in which the position of Venus was tracked for 21 years.

The surface temperature on Venus is 800 degrees Fahrenheit.  As a point of comparison, paper catches fire at 451 degrees Fahrenheit.  The atmospheric pressure is immense.  The atmosphere is sulfur and methane and other poisons.  It's a hard sun-baked kiln oven landscape.   Not that you could ever see the sun, the atmosphere is too thick.  The night side is practically as hot as the day side because the superheated air covers the entire planet.   Sorry, I wish Venus was the lush tropical garden that they thought it was 100 years ago.  But a few unmanned probes have landed there and sent back pictures before they melted into a little puddle.  Looks just like the inside of an oven.

go to earth.google.com and download it  :)))  There u can actually see ur home.. but i think u have to pay if u want to see it live

Use Google Earth. You can get an instant free program which enable you to see the earth by the images from satellites. Go to http://earth.google.com/

So the time it takes to travel to Venus from Earth depends on the distance between the two planets at the time of launch. It also depends on the speed of the spacecraft and the path chosen.\nThe next transit of Venus occurs in June 2012.

You're probably seeing Venus and not a star. It usually rises or sets within hours of the Sun. If it doesn't "twinkle" it's a planet. Would be easier to tell you if you could report your latitude, time zone and time of observation aswell.

Well Venus is much closer to the sun than we are so it is a lot hotter there... stuff that exists as a liquid here (water) would only be able to be a gas there due to the high temps. This also makes the atmosphere there much denser than ours. Not much sunlight would penetrate the thick atmosphere so there isn't any plant life to contribute oxygen to and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere the way plants do here.

At that rate, it'd take about 2 trillion years for the earth to reach the distance from the sun where Venus is.  The solar system is only about 4 or 5 billion years old.  Answer: Venus was almost certainly never where we are.

If it doesn't move or twinkle, it is the planet Venus.\n\nThis answer brings me to level 3.  Thanks all!
