What does the morning star mean?
Venus is the ancient name of "Venus". It is the brightest star in the sky before the darkest dawn, and it is the light in the dark as the guide of light. At dawn, sometimes a particularly bright "morning star" is seen on the eastern horizon. It is not a light source. People call it the "morning star". At dusk, a very bright "evening star" sometimes appears in the afterglow of the west, which is called "Chang Geng Star". These two stars are actually one, namely "Venus". In China, people call it "Taibai" or "Taibai Venus", and there are many legends about it in ancient times. Venus rotates in the same direction as Uranus, contrary to other planets, from east to west. Therefore, on Venus, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Venus' orbit around the sun is an ellipse that is very close to a perfect circle, and the deviation is less than 1, which is close to the ecliptic plane. Its revolution speed is about 35 kilometers per second, and that of period of revolution is about 224.70 days.
