You will never see Mercury on a dark sky. The reason is that Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and so we can only see it shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset. The sky is always still fairly light.
We can see about 6500 stars just with our eyes when the sky is dark enough.With the sky being brighter,the number decreases.
As I write this on August 25, 2012, Mars and Saturn are clearly visible just above the western horizon at sunset. Venus is the "Morning Star", and is the brightest thing in the sky in the eastern sky just before dawn. Jupiter rises about 1AM, and is visible until dawn. Mercury is tougher; it's currently too close to the Sun to be visible and is headed to a "superior conjunction" when Mercury will be on the other side of the Sun from us in mid-September. It will remain too close to the Sun to be visible until the end of October. By Halloween, you should have a chance to see Mercury low in the western sky just after sunset.
Venus is the brightest light in the sky except for the Sun and moon when it is out. Also, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are readily visible in the night sky. Mercury is visible, but only right before sunrise or after sunset.
On 30th July 2017 the bright planet near the Moon just after sunset is Jupiter. Mercury is also visible in the lower part of the sky.
5 all visible in the sky. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. 6 if you include the Earth
No, the moon comes out at a much earlier time then when the sky turns dark. This is due to the orbit of the moon. The moon is visible in the sky during the day. So, no the sky does not turn absolutely dark when the moon comes out. If it did, then we would have extremely long nights.
For as long as the sun is behind you in a clear sky and the sky in front of you has water droplets in it.
