Morning (and evening) serves as the optimum time period for viewing the inferior planets Venus and Mercury.[8] Venus and sometimes Mercury may be referred vĩ đại as a morning star when they appear in the east prior vĩ đại sunrise. It is a popular time vĩ đại hunt for comets, as their tails grow more prominent as these objects draw closer vĩ đại the Sun.[9] The morning (and evening) twilight is used vĩ đại tìm kiếm for near-Earth asteroids that orbit inside the orbit of the Earth.[10] In mid-latitudes, the mornings near the autumnal equinox are a favorable time period for viewing the zodiacal light.[11]
Genetics[edit]
For people, the morning period may be a period of enhanced or reduced energy and productivity. The ability of a person vĩ đại wake up effectively in the morning may be influenced by a ren called "Period 3". This ren comes in two forms, a "long" and a "short" variant.
