The planet is in the midst of its evening appearances in the sky over Earth while it lies far enough to the east of the sun to be seen.
. This doesn't always coincide with the time it reaches its highest point in the sky, however.
During this period of evening apparitions, Venus will reach its maximum separation from the sun on Sunday, June 4, 2023, according to. Yet Venus will be at its brightest three days later on July 7, 2023, when it has a magnitude of -4.7. This will also mark the point at which the planet once again begins to move back into the glare of the sun. By the end of July, the evening apparitions of Venus will come to an end with the planet beginning to set at around 25 minutes after the sun.
Skywatchers will get another chance to view the planet during 2023, however, as Venus becomes an early riser in mid-August as it begins its morning apparition period. Venus which will be to the west of the sun, will peak in brightness on Monday, Sept. 18, 2023, when it reaches a magnitude of -4.5, and it will be at its highest in the morning sky on Oct. 20, 2023, when it reaches an altitude of 20 degrees above the horizon.
