What is the brightest star in the sky at night?

It is said that the brightest star is Venus.

Altair and Vega are two stars like the sun, and they can also glow by themselves. The official name of Altair in China is Heguji; It combines with several other stars to form a constellation called Skyhawk. The official name of Vega in China is Vega I; It and several other stars form a constellation called Lyra. The names and divisions of constellations were introduced from the west.

On a clear night, you can find a safe place that is not affected by town lights, preferably about two hours after dark. At this time, the influence of moonlight is not great. In the middle and on both sides of the Milky Way across the sky, there are three bright stars, the brightest of which is blue and white. She is in the northwest of the galaxy. This is Vega. There are four dark stars below Vega, forming a small parallelogram. They are beautiful clouds and rainbow shuttles woven by Vega in myths and legends. Another bright star is in the southeast of Vega, which is the southeast edge of the Milky Way. He is Altair (also known as Hegu II).
