Hi Nindash!
That's Jupiter!
It's the brightest object in the morning sky.
For those who don't like getting up at 5 a.m. to do their planet-watching, Jupiter will advance into the evening skies starting in May (for Northern Hemisphere observers). You'll be able to see it coming up in the southeast shortly before midnight (Daylight Saving Time) in May, and earlier with each passing week after that.
In the Southern Hemisphere, Jupiter is already out now, just before midnight, these late March evenings. It rises earlier and earlier each evening, through the months until by mid-June it rises at sunset.

Well, Venus is seen in the evening at this time, Mercury is too close to the Sun to be seen. My guess is it's Mars which is appearing at dawn in the south east. If it's reddish in color there's your answer. If not, then it's Jupiter which is also out at dawn.

That's the planet Saturn. Mercury is right there too, but you can't pick it out right now.
