Can you see a Planet from Earth?

Question

Please tell me cause I need to Know

Answer 1

You can see several.
Mars and Venus are both visible to the naked eye, especially at dawn and dusk. Look for a star that appears brighter than others and sticks out by color (Red for mars, Blue for Venus)
Jupiter and Saturn can also be seen by the naked eye under the right conditions, but because they are so far away, they are barely distinguishable from stars. You have to know what to look for and where.

Answer 2

As others have mentioned, you can see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn from Earth with the naked eye. It is also possible to see Uranus without a telescope, but you have to know where to look (which is why no one noticed it until the 18th century). As far as I know you need a telescope to see Neptune , so there's really only one planet that can't be seen with the naked eye (if Pluto doesn't count).

By the way, Jupiter and Venus are frequently brighter than any star in the sky other than the sun - if you see something very bright, chances are good it's a planet.

Answer 3

You can see all of the 8 planets from Earth. However, not all can be seen without a telescope. Without a telescope, you can see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. With a telescope, you can see those plus Uranus and Neptune. You'd need a really big telescope to see Pluto.

Several planets are out tonight. Venus is in the western sky, and is the brightest thing in the sky other than the moon after the Sun sets. Saturn is currently in the constellation Leo.

Answer 4

Here in Australia we can see Venus from earth at night time and it looks just like a star, but for the rest of the planets a telescope is needed. Hope this helps! HAVE A HAPPY DAY AND KEEP SMILING!

Answer 5

Five of the planets in our solar system can be seen with the naked eye -- Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. You need a small telescope to see Uranus and Neptune, and a fairly powerful telescope to see Pluto.

Answer 6

You can see 5 planets with the naked eye.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. You need to know where to look. Saturn is the hardest to see and the furthest away.
The brightest is Venus known as the morning or evening star.
It is usually the first light in the night sky. It is brignt and steady.

Answer 7

Yes, the planets known to the ancients are all visible to the naked eye at the right time of year, if you know where to look. They are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Answer 8

Some of the biggest stars in the sky are actually planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.

Answer 9

You could see a planet from Earth, but it'll look like a star in the sky.

Answer 10

Some planets. I am absolutely sure that Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Neptune can be SOMETIMES. Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn might be visible SOMETIMES as well. It has to be really clear, really dark out, but it only happens sometimes in the year. It's not an everyday thing.
