In page Venus:

"

To the naked eye, Venus appears as a white point of light brighter than any other planet or star (apart from the Sun).[1] The planet's mean apparent magnitude is −4.14 with a standard deviation of 0.31.[2] The brightest magnitude occurs during the crescent phase about one month before or after an inferior conjunction. Venus fades to about magnitude −3 when it is backlit by the Sun, although the exact value depends on the phase angle.[citation needed] The planet is bright enough to be seen in broad daylight,[3] but is more easily visible when the Sun is low on the horizon or setting. As an inferior planet, it always lies within about 47° of the Sun.[4]
