Explanation

Venus is called the Morning Star (or Evening Star) because it is the brightest natural object in the sky after the Sun and Moon, and it appears prominently in the eastern sky before sunrise. Mercury can also appear as a morning star, but Venus is more famously known by this title due to its greater brightness.
