Venus and Mars are only 2.5 degrees...
Venus and Mars are only 2.5 degrees apart (five times the diameter of the moon).Look for them low in the southwest at the end of evening twilight around 5:40 p.m. Venus is brilliant. Mars, less than one-hundredth as bright, is a short distance to the upper right of Venus. On Monday evening the thin crescent moon will join these two planets.
