That's most likely Venus, the brightest planet in our solar system. It's often mistaken for a star because it shines so brightly.

Here's why:

* Brightness: Venus reflects a lot of sunlight, making it appear very bright in the night sky.

* Position: Venus's orbit takes it close to Earth, sometimes making it appear near the Moon.

* Twinkling: Unlike stars, which twinkle due to atmospheric distortion, Venus often appears steady.

If you're unsure, you can use a stargazing app to identify objects in the sky. These apps often have features to track celestial bodies and can tell you what you're looking at.
