Why do you see planets just after sunset and just before sunset?
The two planets that are between Earth and the sun are Mercury and Venus. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun. These two planets can only be seen when the observer on earth is facing towards them. That occurs only during the early morning twilight, the entire day, and the early evening twilight. During the night, and observer is facing away from the two planets. During the day, it is difficult, but not impossible, to see either Mercury or Venus due to the glare of the sun. The remaining planets have an orbit that places them farther out from the sun than earth. They can be seen only when it is night, or early twilight. The three outer planets that are easiest to see with the naked eye at night are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

What time of year can you see planets?
There are generally a couple of planets visible every night of the year. Which planets will be visible and when depends on where each of the planets (and the Earth itself) are in their orbits. Here on August 28, 2009, for example, Jupiter rises about sunset and is brightly visible all night. Venus and Mars rise before dawn. Saturn and Mercury are not visible this month, because they are too close to the Sun to be seen.

Why do the heavenly bodies disappear during the day?
Most heavenly bodies disappear during the day because of sunlight and they change their positions all of the time. However, the sun itself is often regarded as a heavenly body and is obviously seen during the day. The moon can often be seen in daylight too. Even some planets can at times be seen before it has got really dark, particularly Venus, which is often seen just after sunset or before sunrise.
