Brain Functions: Memory / Spacial Thinking Puzzle    Solution

Explain why the pictured situation (Venus near the full moon) could never really be seen in the night sky.

When the moon is full and near the horizon, the sun has just set or is about to rise. Around sunrise and sunset is when we always see Venus (because Venus is an inner planet, closer to the sun than earth). We see the moon near Venus quite often. So why don't we ever see the full moon near Venus?
