Two lights in the sky tonight.

In fact, Jupiter is currently about 517 million miles from Earth, and Venus is about 136 million miles away. Venus is almost exactly the same size as Earth, but Jupiter has a diameter approximately 11 times that of our own planet. I always find that astronomy helps put things into perspective!

If you are referring to a generally westward view, they are probably Venus and Jupiter, both of which are fairly prominent and low in the sky.

If you find yourself seeing lights in the sky often, you might find this website useful.  (I use it a lot, as well as the smartphone and desktop apps.) https://stellarium-web.org/

Of course, it could be sunlight reflecting off a Chinese "weather balloon".
