On earth, why is Venus brighter than other stars?

Venus is one of the nine planets in the solar system, ranking second in the distance from the sun. China called it "Taibai Star" in ancient times, which is the brightest star except the sun and the moon in the whole day, reaching -4.4 at the brightest time. Because Venus is located in the orbit of the earth, it always appears near the sun, with an angular distance of no more than 48. The morning star is located in the west of the sun, and the dark star is located in the east of the sun.

This is because on the one hand, it is very close to the sun, only/kloc-0.08 million kilometers, and the sunlight on Venus is twice that on the earth. On the other hand, Venus is surrounded by white and yellow clouds, which reflect about 75% of sunlight into space, making it dazzling. Venus can reach -4.4 at its brightest, which is about 10,000 times brighter than the darkest star seen by the naked eye. It can light the way for those who leave early and return late without street lamps.

Of course, the most important thing is that Venus has enough clouds to reflect sunlight.
