Venus, the brightest natural object in our sky after the sun and moon, can be spotted in daylight under the right conditions. This brilliant planet reflects approximately 75% of the sunlight that hits its highly reflective clouds. To find Venus during the day, use the moon as a guide, or look for it when it is highest in the sky or before sunrise.
Never look directly at the sun, and never use binoculars, telescopes, or cameras to search for Venus in daylight. Position yourself so that a tree trunk or building blocks the sun, and use EarthSky's visible planets guide or an astronomy app like Stellarium to determine Venus's location. Venus is currently visible in the west after sunset, and will become visible before dawn in early November.
