A certain planet shone brightly with the Moon-a rare event in the night sky a couple of weeks ago but can you remember which planet it was?
A
Venus
B
Uranus
C
Pluto
D
Mars
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mars is currently in the constellation of Taurus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mars is high in the evening sky, noticeably red in color, setting several hours after midnight. Mars is still brighter than most stars, even though it’s shrinking and fading since its recent opposition on December 8, 2022. Earth flew between Mars and the sun in December.

Detailed explanation-3: -Venus can often be seen within a few hours after sunset or before sunrise as the brightest object in the sky (other than the moon). It looks like a very bright star. Venus is the brightest planet in the Solar System.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why is Venus called “the Morning Star” or “the Evening Star?” Venus 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.
