Hello everyone,
I am doing a science/art project, part of teacher’s college. I am suppose to share a scientific related experience through the expression of art, so I plan to do some graffiti art of the representation. However, I never understood scientifically how this is possible.
For example, during around this time of year, I believe North East to the sun there should be a “star” around sunrise. This star is in fact mercury. I need to explain how this is even possible. I am not a science major, so if some can explain how this is possible please help me out.

You can see the moon with the naked eye, because it’s 3,600 km in diameter and about 385,000 km from the Earth.
Venus’s closest approach to the Earth is 61,000,000 km, so that’s about 200 times further than the moon, but it’s also 12,000 km in diameter (or 4 times the size of the moon.) So yes, it’s a lot further away than the moon, but it’s also bigger than the moon.
