Reason (R): Venus is the second planet from the Sun in our solar system.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) - A is false, but R is true.
Venus the brightest celestial object after the Moon after sunset!
Venus is radiantly illuminated by its relatively close neighbor, the Sun. It is completely shrouded by a layer of clouds that reflect a large portion of the light the planet receives, thus explaining its unique shine. Venus is the second brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon and hence, A is incorrect.Venus is the second planet from the Sun in our solar system. Thus, R is correct.
