    Some surface area depending on angle and then affect of distance from earth combination would need to be done. Complicated but I can imagine the combinations of a sphere illuminated and viewed from an angle as well as how far that sphere would be from earth. Evidence is surely that the affects are not perfectly balanced. Looks like someone did an approximation at https://excelsiorstatistics.com/optimization/when-venus-brightest/index.htm https://excelsiorstatistics.com/optimization/when-venus-brightest/index.htm...

We assumed that the brightness of Venus was simply proportional to how much of Venus’s disc was illuminated. In fact, Venus is quite a bit dimmer when illuminated only by glancing rays of the sun, and quite a bit brighter when struck directly by sunlight, than we assumed.
