What planets can never be seen at opposition?
Venus and Mercury because they are inferior planets.
How can planets be seen from earth?
They reflect light from the Sun.
What planets can be seen in certain constellations?
The constellations of the zodiac fall on the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun) and all the Sun's planets orbit also in the plane of the ecliptic. This means that ALL the planets eventually move through ALL the zodiacal constellations (as seen from Earth). It also therefore follows that the planets are never seen in the non zodiacal constellations.
Are inner planets known as Terrestrial planets?
Yes because they are rocky planets and the outer planets are known as the gas planets.
Why do you compare outer planets to inner planets?
because inner planets are hot and outer planets are cold
Planets can be seen in the sky because?
The planets shine because they reflect sunlight.
Why can planets and moons be seen?
Planets and moons can be seen because of the light that shines off of them in space.
What planets can never be seen at opposition?

Why can other planets be seen at night?

What objects can be seen in space from earth because the objects reflect light from another object?
Planets, moons, asteroids, artificial satellites.
What does the sun have different from other planets in the solar system because it has the most?
its bright and hot and can be seen clearly
Why can you see the Sun but not the planets in the day time?
The luminosity of the sky makes the planets undetectable. The Moon however can often be seen in the daytime because it's so bright.
Why are the terrestrial planets knwon as the ancient planets?
they can be seen by the naked eye
Why are planets seen in different locations at different times?
Because the planets are closer to us so when we look at the planets we can see them move so the closer an object is to you the easier it is to follow its motion. Hope you could use my answer
Have any planets never been seen in the solar system?
The number of planets never seen could be millions, billions, or trillions. We just have never seen them.
What planets can be seen by a person?
Earth
Why are planets brighter at different times of year?
Some planets can be seen from the earth at certain times. Volcanoes in some planets erupt and the ash surrounds the gas clouds so it seems darker to us. But at different times of year we can see the planets brighter. That is because because of the sun's light. Planets do not have their own light. So they reflect the light of the sun, the big ball of fire.
