Venus is often called the "morning star" or "evening star" because it's usually visible in the sky near sunrise or sunset. It's the brightest planet in our solar system and reflects a lot of sunlight, making it appear like a very bright star.
Here's a quick breakdown:
* Star: A giant ball of hot gas that produces its own light and heat.
* Planet: A celestial body that orbits a star and does not produce its own light.
* Satellite: A celestial body that orbits a planet. Our Moon is Earth's natural satellite.
So, the bright object next to the moon is a planet, not a star or a satellite.
