How to identify that light in the sky
Why would it be related to the time of night?

Venus’s orbit is between us and the Sun, so if it’s going to be visible at all, it won’t be at a time when your part of the Earth is facing totally away from the Sun. Venus would be visible a lot during the day if the Sun were less bright.

Only visible around sunset and sunrise, due to proximity to the sun.
If you see a really bright "star" near the sunset for example, it's almost certainly Venus.
