It is constantly moving so you can't see it every night of the year, but you can see it for much of the year. As it moves through our night sky, like the other planets and the Sun and Moon, it is always near one of the constellations that are used as signs of the zodiac in Astrology. So if you know where they are, you may see Jupiter or one of the other planets or the Moon. The Sun makes it too bright to be able to see that it is also around one of the constellations. There are good websites, like Heavens-Above, which will tell you when and where to see Jupiter. When it is visible it is much brighter than any star in the night sky, making it easy to identify when you know where to look.
I live in Japan. It is now end of December,2011.When the sun goes down(sun-setting) in the evening and the sky is bright Jupitar is seen setting in the west very bright at around 7:15pm while Venus which is always near the moon is seen following it but at a very big distance. It is amazing to note that Jupitar is more than 10times the size of the planet with live on(Planet Earth).
Just imagine this in perspective. While standing on Earth, you can see the Earth's moon which is ONLY one. But supposing you were to be taken to Planet Jupitar, you would be able to see for moons in its sky.
Let us ponder over this amazing spectacular painting we see above us in the sky. Did all these things just happen by chance? Can a wrist watch simply just happen just like that?. Of course NOT .There must be a watch -maker. Indeed God Created. Amen
By the constellations. Draw a line between the centres of Taurus and Pices. Draw a line between the centres of Aries and Eridanus. Jupiter is along the first line, to the left of where the second line bisects it.
As of this writing (Sept 11, 2011) Jupiter is in the constellation of Aries.
In general, the easiest way to find Jupiter is "look up". If it's in the sky at all, it's one of the 5 or so brightest objects there.
in the solar system i don't know for sure but i think my answers is right
