Best Answer

Look out at night. It would appear as a bright white "star" in the sky (only the sun, moon, and venus get brighter in our sky) along the celestial equator (earths equator projected out in to space. Figure that you can see Jupiter for about 7 months and then not see it for five months over a year as earth goes around its orbit and the sun is between earth and Jupiter thus obscurring our view. Jupiter can be seen when it's close to the sun but you need the proper equipment and caution to see it during those times because of the danger of accidently looking at the sun.
