Yes, sometimes. Every few years Mars comes relatively close to Earth when the two planets are on the same side of the sun. On these occasions it is the brightest object in the night sky except for the moon. When Earth and Mars are on opposite sides of the sun, of course it cannot be seen at all.

∙ 12y agoYes. Not all the time though, since sometimes the orbits of Earth and Mars relative to the sun cause mars to be 'behind' the sun when veiwed from Earth, on the other side of the solar system. It looks like a fairly bright star with the naked eye - you can even see the red colour of the planet.

∙ 13y agoYes. In fact, you can see Mars from Earth without using a telescope; at its nearest, it's one of the brightest objects in the night sky. Its mean visual magnitude at opposition (which happens about once every two years) is around -2... brighter than Sirius.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoYes, Mars appears as a reddish light which at times is brighter than at others.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, but you won't be able to see it again until 2012. You could've seen it on March 25 though...

Can you ever see a crescent Mars?
No, you can't ever see a crescent Mars from Earth. Because Mars is farther from the sun than Earth is, there is no point at which less than half of Mars' illuminated size is facing Earth. In other words Mars will always appear as "full" or "gibbous."
Can you see the Milky Way from Mars?
Yes. The view of the stars on Mars is the same as it is on Earth.
When can you see mars without a telescope from earth?
yes
If you were on Mars can you see earth at midnight?
yes you could but it would depend on were you are

Can you see earth from Mars?
While no humans have gone to Mars yet to look, we would certainly expect to be able to see Earth from Mars. It would probably look very much like Venus does to us here on Earth.
Why is it easiest to see mars when it is closest to the earth?
because it is colder and the earth moves sidewards towards the face so mars to make it possible it makes it look easier to see.
How can you see mars when it doesn't give out light?
You see Mars the same way you see the other planets such as Jupiter or Venus; the same way that you see ANYTHING. Light from the Sun shines on all the planets just as it does on Earth, and the reflected light from Mars comes back to your eye here on Earth.
Can you see mars from earth how was it discovered?
Yes. You can see Mars from Earth. It was discovered by primitive people who watched the night sky and notice that some of the objects, later called planets, did not move with the stars.
