Both Mercury and Venus have been known as the "morning star" or "evening star" in some form for various cultures and civilizations. Sometimes, these evening and morning appearances were thought to represent different "stars." (Of course, they are not stars at all and are rather the two planets closest to the Sun.)
In ancient Greece, Mercury was called Apollo when it appeared as a morning star with sunrise and Hermes (the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Mercury) when it appeared as an evening star near sunset.
Venus was also known to ancient civilizations both as the "morning star" and as the "evening star". The Greeks thought of the two as separate stars, Phosphoros and Hesperos, until the sixth century BC.
The Romans designated the morning aspect of Venus as Lucifer (meaning Light-Bringer) and the evening aspect as Vesper.
Venus is dramatic in the morning and evening sky while Mercury is smaller, dimmer and hard to see. (Most people have never seen Mercury and everyone has seen Venus whether they know it or not.) As a consequence, references to Venus are more common when the term morning star or evening star are made. (It is also true that sometimes any star that is the first visible start of the morning or evening is given such a name for that particular day.)
I think the answer is "Mercury". That's because it appears in the sky as the "morning star" and also as the "evening star".
there is no other planet ecsept earth which have seasons
Gas planets are those planets which are not made up of rocks or materials. They are composed of gases only. Eg- Jupiter
Neptune and Pluto are the two coldest planets!
Well, there are two types planets in our solar system. Four rocky planets and four huge gas planets. Go to any planet chart add up the rocky planets size and divide that by four. Now, do the very same thing with the gas planets Viola!!!
Planets are rotating, that is spinning, and they are also orbiting, going around, the sun.
I think the answer is "Mercury". That's because it appears in the sky as the "morning star" and also as the "evening star".
Only under once circumstance: a binary planet. In the case of a binary planet, two planets will revolve about their common center of mass and travel around their star together. The configuration is much like that of a planet with a large moon.
early astronomers thought that Mercury was a seprate planet to another because it was so small
No, they are two different "dwarf Planets".
Every planet has. No two are the same.
Neptune and Uranus are the two coldest 'planets'.
Among the planets in the solar system the only two planets do not have any moon at all . And they are the planets Mercury and the planet Venus. Both these planets are nearer the sun compared to earth.
no they are two separate planets
Two planets. Mercury. Venus.

Old AnswerNeptune and PlutoNew AnswerPluto is no longer classified as a planet, therefore the closest planets are Uranus and Saturn.
