The “evening star,” which is normally the planet Venus, appears just after sunset, shining brightly in the sky, lighting up the western horizon, and pointing towards the West. The correct answer is (D) West.
Normally, the “evening star” is the planet Venus. Since the planet appears just after the sunset, it is present at the western end of the sky.
Evening Star (Venus) appears at the West after the sunset.
Morning Star (Venus) appears at the East before the sunrise.
So, the appearance of the evening star indicates the West.
