Where is Venus right now?
Venus is currently about 85,905,811 kilometres from Earth, or 0.57 astronomical units. In the sky it is 45 degrees from the Sun and well placed in the evening sky.
This page is about where Venus is. For the planet itself, its size, its day, its moons and a photograph, see Venus.
Venus is the brightest thing in the sky after the Sun and the Moon, which is why it gets reported as an aircraft or a drone more often than every other planet combined. It manages this on geometry rather than size: it is almost exactly Earth's width, no planet ever passes closer to us than Venus does at its nearest, and its cloud deck reflects about three quarters of the sunlight that hits it.
Because it orbits inside us it is never far from the Sun and never visible in the middle of the night. It runs out to about 47 degrees on either side and then comes back, spending a few months as an evening object and a few as a morning one. It currently reaches its highest point about two and a half hours after the Sun does.
A small telescope shows it as a phase rather than a disc, and the phase is tied to the distance: near the Sun in our sky it is a small round dot on the far side of its orbit, and at its brightest it is a fat crescent much closer in. Galileo used exactly this to argue that it went round the Sun and not the Earth.
Nothing is currently working there. The last landers were Soviet, and the longest any of them survived on the surface was 127 minutes, which is what 465°C and ninety-odd atmospheres of carbon dioxide do to a spacecraft.
