When is the next night to see the planets with your naked eye?

If a night is clear it is possible to see planets. We can really only see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with the naked eye, as Uranus and Neptune are not bright enough. (Uranus is a "maybe" in a very dark location with good seeing conditions, Neptune is more in the "wishful thinking" category even under the best possible conditions ... though a good pair of binoculars can allow you to view both of them.)
It is not always possible to see all of them, as they may sometimes be too near the Sun (as seen from Earth) and therefore washed out by its glare.
The planets are constantly changing positions, so at different times you can see different ones. There are many websites that can tell which planets can be seen and where to look for them from your location. See the link below for one of these sites. Then check the Sky chart on it.
Also, the weather page in many local newspapers includes information on best times
to view the various planets and their positions in the sky.

Venus is the brightest planet in the night sky. Of course, it is the only planet we can see in the night sky.
