Question 1532Navigation General70% to pass
Other than the Sun and Moon, the brightest object in the sky is _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Venus.
Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon. This is because Venus is the closest planet to Earth and reflects a significant amount of sunlight. Other bright objects like Sirius (the brightest star), Canopus, and Jupiter are less bright than Venus in the night sky.
The other answer choices are incorrect because Canopus is a star, not a planet, and Jupiter, while a bright planet, is still not as bright as Venus in the sky.
