If the question is how it is possible to see both Venus and Mars in the same part of the sky on a particular night, the answer would be when Mars is at a point in its orbit that it is either about to go behind the sun from the Earth's perspective or it is emerging from "behind" the sun. Because Venus is closer to the sun than the Earth, we cannot see it late at night when the observer is peering outward in our solar system; the only times are around dusk and dawn when the observer is looking towards the sun but the sun's rays have not yet made the sky too bright to see Venus. This means that the only time we can see Mars and Venus simutaneously is if Mars is also in the direction of Sun. Therefore, if you want to see Mars and Venus at the same time, you have to find out when Mars is out during the early morning and evening and if Venus is also visible during that same time period. Hope this helps!

∙ 8y agoBoth planets can be seen from Earth. Venus has just been visible in the evenings after sunset for a few months and will soon be visible in the mornings before sunrise. Mars is not well placed but when it moves round its orbit a bit we will be able to see it again.
