Evening Star

Evening Star, the name given to any of the five bright planets in the sky at sunset. It is thus not actually a star and there may be several at one time. The evening stars continually change as the planets move in relation to the sun. A planet may be an evening star for as little as 58 days (Mercury) or as much as 390 days (Mars).
