The Sun reflects light from the surfaces of the planets and that way we are able to see them from Earth, hence why the further away the planets are, the more difficult it is to see them. Not impossible, but difficult.
The reason you can see the planets is because they reflect the Sun's light, making them visible to us.
Yes. We can see them at night because the Sun's light can still reach them. It is
dark for us only because at night the Earth itself is between us and the Sun.
Though planets don't emit their own light, they do reflect light from a star. We see the planets Venus and Mars in the night sky because they are reflecting the light from our Sun. Closer to home is the full Moon shining brightly on a dark, cloudless night. The Moon is reflecting the light from our Sun, creating what we call, moonlight.
Scientists also see planets by seeing the dark place where they pass in front of their sun. Sometimes we can detect the slight differences in orbits of suns and other planets and tell that there is another planet out there as well.
You can see planets in the night sky because they reflect the sun's light toward you, and because the sun is not then in the sky to drown out that faint reflection.
you can see planets when you are up on a mountain or if there is not one light on in your community
the suns light reflects on the planet
The two planets in Florida's western night sky are Venus and Jupiter, with Venus being the brighter of the two.
Planets that are located inside the orbit of Earth are classified as inferior planets, and these include Venus and Mercury. After the Moon, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky.
me The planets. unlike the sun do not produce their own light. As seen from Earth, the planet with the greatest magnitude is Venus.
Venus is the brightest planet in the night sky. Of course, it is the only planet we can see in the night sky. Except, of course, when Mars or Saturn, or any of the other planets, are close enough to Earth for us to see the light reflect from the planet. But then again, Venus would still be the brightest.
its close to the earth
Like our Moon, other planets can also reflect light from our Sun.
there are certain times when those planets... like venus..... are in an alignment with the sun and the sun's light... letting those planets REFLECT the same light the stars do...... the sun's light...... without the sun's light..... the stars too would be dark ^^
It does reflect light, just like all the other planets.
mercury and venus are known as light planets, because they are closest to the sun.

The night time stars are suns, so distant they appear as points of light. Note that the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen without a telescope and can be mistaken for stars.
There are no planets on venus. Venus is a planet.
its close to the earth
Many civilizations were aware of five wandering points of light in the night sky, which were later named for gods of the Roman mythology-Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These planets were easily observed with the unaided eye.
