What planet is most visible now?

Answer 1

It depends on the time of the year, your location, and clear skies. All seven planets are visible with the naked eye but Uranus and Neptune appear quite faint and Mercury is only visible at sunrise or sunset.

Answer 2

Right now, Mars is the only planet visible without a telescope, you can see Venus in the west when the sun is setting with a telescope. Jupiter is visible in the summer.

Answer 3

Saturn is visible to the west of the moon. If you see the moon, look to the right and you'll find Saturn. Many people are confusing this for Jupiter, but Jupiter is much brighter and much further to the west. To find Saturn without the moon, find the big dipper and follow it's tail. Draw a straight line from the end curve of the tail to the next closest star. Then, draw a straight line from that star to the next, and look to the left of that star. You'll see Saturn. It looks like a regular star that doesn't twinkle. Jupiter is also visible, but sets in the west around midnight.

Answer 4

The most visible planet at present is Jupiter in the southeastern/southern sky in northern latitudes. Look for the brightest non-flickering object. The answer to this question may vary greatly depending upon YOUR location.

Answer 5

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are visible to the naked eye.

These were the only planets known, before the invention of the telescope and the maturation of

the disciplines of universal gravitation and celestial mechanics.

Answer 6

There are five planets that are visible with the naked eye. Here in September, 2009, the planets Mercury and Saturn are too close to the Sun to be visible. Saturn will rise shortly before sunrise after mid-October.

Mars and Venus are visible in the pre-dawn sky early each morning. Venus is the brightest thing in the sky (except for the Sun and the Moon) and Mars has a distinctly reddish color, so both are easy to spot.

This month, Jupiter rises when the Sun sets, and is visible most of the night. That really bright object in the southeast (from the northern hemisphere) each evening? That's Jupiter.
