The bright ones
As of November 2013, you can see Venus towards the west, after sunset. Any time that Venus appears in the sky, it is the brightest "star". It is not technically a star, but it certainly looks like one.
The first star you see at night is often the planet Venus. Venus is very bright and can often be seen in the western sky just after sunset.
This is possible because the Sun shines on the dead star making it bright when you see it from Earth. :-)
Venus is the brightest star. It is also the hottest planet it reflects a lot of light from the sun and we can see it as a bright dot in the sky.
On August 4, 2009, the bright star Regulus was visible next to the Moon in the evening sky. Regulus is the brightest star in the Leo constellation and can often be seen near the Moon during its monthly journey across the sky.
sometimes you can see the planet venus!
No. Sigma Octans is a star close to the south pole of the sky, but it is not particularly bright.

That refers to its actual brightness, not to how we see it. The apparent brightness depends on the real ("absolute") brightness, but also on the distance.
The starts are still in the sky at day time, but the starts are bright and so is the sky that you can't see the starts at day time.
Yes, it appears as a bright "star" in the sky. In fact it appears brighter than any actual star in our sky except of course the sun.
There is no particularly bright star near the south pole of the sky. A nearby star is Sigma Octans, but it is not as bright a star as Polaris (the North Star).
yes it is but you could also say: South Africa shined like a bright star in the sky.
